Edward Ibeh Poet Haibun

Alone With My Thoughts

I'm alone with my thoughts at the moment, wondering how to keep them all like ducks in a row inside my head! Argh! They come a mile a minute, raging like a furious flood, doing somersaults! My brain, scrambled eggs.

                                                                 feeling so confused
                                                       can't keep my thoughts together
                                                                 what is happening!?

Aditi Mishra August 14, 2020 at 12:44 PM Your words portray the maze of thoughts inside the brain brilliantly Edward. The analogy of ducks trying to be in a row then somersaulting in flood is so subtle.
