Donald J Bennett Poet Rhyme

A Thought

I had a thought but it quickly went away
Another thought just crossed my mind
The second one today
Lasted for only a moment
They very seldom stay
Just melt away like a snow flake in July
But soon another will take its place
I have always wondered why

Marquis Mc Mills-Cooper October 7, 2016 at 10:04 AM Thoughts can be fleeting at times...thank God those neurons, ever firing, always bring us another notion to ponder. Good work! MC

Terry O'Leary August 8, 2014 at 7:23 PM An interesting 'thought'... one of many, I suppose... :-) Donald J Bennett August 9, 2014 at 1:11 AM I appreciate you comment on my work as it means so much to me. Thank you.

Dan Kearley July 30, 2014 at 1:36 AM You should have called this one "Endless Thoughts"... Now you got my mind racing! Ha,ha.

Regina Mcintosh July 21, 2014 at 9:06 AM Millions of thoughts keep going through my mind - sometimes all at once - which can be difficult. I'm bipolar :) so this is a hard way of thinking. I enjoyed your poem. God bless you. Donald J Bennett July 24, 2014 at 11:57 PM Thank you Regina for the fine comment.

Robert Lindley July 21, 2014 at 7:59 AM Love this write. I have days that my thoughts flash like strobe light. Other days when they hit me deeply and I have to ask myself--who is this invisible man speaking to me? Carry on my friend! Donald J Bennett July 24, 2014 at 11:53 PM Thank you kind sir.

Mark Peterson July 21, 2014 at 1:12 AM Ah, I see you've spent some time in my mind as well. I really enjoyed this little verse. It reminded me of another: "Last night upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh how I wish he'd stay away." (William Hughes). Kudos, to you, Donald. Donald J Bennett July 24, 2014 at 11:56 PM Thank you Mark. I guess that having someone reading our work is payment for the writing.

A.E. Rivenbark July 19, 2014 at 2:27 PM I've always considered my thoughts to be mind squirrels with adhd. Love the poem :D Donald J Bennett July 19, 2014 at 3:29 PM Now that you mention it some of them are kind of squirrelly. Thanks for stopping by.
