Notes About The Poem

''A Chaotic- World''

I have many cousins that share my life,
There is Happiness, Sadness, and Grief holds the knife;
There is Love, Hate, Compassion, but oh yes, Chaos,
My cousin, Chaos can be mean and heinous.

Full of malice and often we have a face-off,
Unpredictable- wanting to ruin my life's mosaic;
Oh the mosaic of my journey has been chaotic,
Full of starting over and making myself a new oasis.

When I fall, I re-build sometimes quite robotic,
I go through the motions like a neurotic;
My cousin Chaos just laughs at me- smiling,
I try to ignore him and go on in a trance hypnotic.

My life shattered, full of deaths and tears, weeping,
And Chaos is clapping and full of words, lying;
Rush here, rush there, just be disorganized my girl,
Chaotic, confused thoughts, with a what to do feeling.

Many times I have known nothingness and had to unfurl,
Like a rose, unfurl my petals for yet another whirl;
Oh my mean cousin Chaos really tries to make me nuts,
But, I am a survivor and will forever swirl and twirl.

Balveen Cheema June 4, 2016 at 1:26 PM First I read your poems, now heard your voice. Like icing on a cake! A perennial winner on PS, Constance!

Joanna Daniel June 1, 2016 at 4:59 AM Great thought to personify Chaos:) all the best in the contest:)

Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2016 at 5:46 PM wow, Constance, you did it with such grace! I mean, this is elegant, so unlike my crazy poem I have tried to write (not yet posted) where I actually tried to write in a chaotic style that sucks. I loved reading it as I listened to your voice and noticed how you pronounce heinous differently from me! Great job. I am so curious to see how Brian will judge this one. I loved your thinking outside the box and personifying chaos

Richard Lamoureux May 29, 2016 at 10:18 AM Cool the way you told this story. Good luck in the contest.

Karam Misra May 29, 2016 at 1:04 AM Lovely hearing your voice, Broken. Very well written. All the best for the contest. ~karam~

Edlynn Nau May 29, 2016 at 12:41 AM The metaphor is very strong here and I loved how you used Chaos as a literary device; it totally worked! So very well done and the paradox highlighted and underscored. Good luck and best wishes for the contest!

CayCay Godwin May 28, 2016 at 7:54 PM It is somewhat surreal hearing voices of those you do not know, but who are most familiar. To click and sit back is such a novel way step into a poem and reveal it. Your unique take on yet another contest once again surprises me in a thought provoking way. I deeply relate to the last stanza which I feel is powerful. A great write throughout that will stay with me awhile. You are an individualistic individual - my favorite kind - and you give great voice ... CayCay
