Forgot the knots

In your error there is a'way making 
Whilst striving in your searches collating,

Are they blackly scrawled your inky walls.?
Truly "A vice" this undertaking...

Explain peruse or buying extra shoes
True vanity versus inspiration.

    Is there vanity by 'peruse', Joe? Or is it just spreading your poetic wings? Well Lebkuchenmann, I hope you acquire the shoes of Hermes and post more of your amazing writes!:) Best wishes, Love, Mikki

    Label the type of meter on the bottom of the verse Joe Light & Love [Not sure what this write means dear? each couplet seems like the beginning of its own verse?]

  1. Date: 1/21/2012 6:23:00 PM

    Thanks Joe I didn't know how much work I was setting myself up for LOL correcting 35 poems for assorted meter GAH! I only know 3 meters LOL [hope they pick those 3 /1 already didn't LOL] anyway it's all good I learn too! PS Joe dear YOU MUST have 10 syllables per line to be pentameter penta 5 x 2 iams per meter = 10 syllables see? [1 iam 1 IAM] see? [unstress STRESS] see? [ un LEASH] 2 syllables, 2 iambs, 1 foot of iambic meter

    the interlude brings fortitude, denys the old frustration, but in the solid quiteatude, (new one) unleashes inspiration... on ya Joe M

  1. Date: 11/16/2011 3:42:00 PM

    hhmmm I did not buy extra shoes but did peruse and came up with true inspiration is always versus verses of vanity. and when inky walls are blackly scrawled ... I can't see the words too well.... and if in error there is a making then whilst striving in searches collating there is still a creation ,Okay Joe that's all I got on it. brain starting to smoke a little now ..better stop. : )

    Thought provoking piece Joe, but that is the norm when it comes to your gems, enjoyed it!! love Wilma

    Interesting thoughts to ponder about. I like the title. Thank you for sharing your poem with us and for your kind words on mine. Karen

  1. Date: 11/4/2011 10:16:00 AM

    Hmmmm This is real food for thought my friend. Makes me think someone is having trouble linking their words together to make some kind of sense out of their thoughts. "So many thoughts, such a small mind?" Is that it. Whatever, I like this. God Bless, JB

  1. Date: 11/2/2011 9:58:00 PM

    u certainly have a way with words Joe.. words that make one think beyond the box luv.. luv your title my friend.. appreciate all your wonderful comments too..

  1. Date: 10/30/2011 4:08:00 PM

    Not sure I get the end of this one, Joe. I like the title though. It reminds me of buying shoes that don't use laces to avoid the knots!

  1. Date: 10/29/2011 6:45:00 PM

    ok... have read about nine times... enthralling each one and still don't get the 'nection 'tween knots and collating, so figurin' that's not the point. the rest resonates but not in ideas I have words for yet. anyhow, i keep comin' back so that's somethin'. namaste~N
