Bewilderment

Within the echo chambers of his mind
distorted voices battle to be heard,
familiar in tone yet undefined;
connections faulty, messages now blurred.


An excerpt from my poem 'In disarray' 20.11.19

you chose a great quatrain from the original work. I like also the way you changed the title. It's fun trying to think up a different title for these smaller ones, isn't it? congrats on the win.

Congratulations on your win in the Rithimus Divisa 6 Premiere Poetry Contest, Wendy - I appreciate you taking the time to enter. This was a contest full of quality, and the placements came down to very small things, indeed - what a joy to read such poetic cream! Blessings, My Friend! :o) <3 (I am shocked mine is the first comment - what a travesty!! This is gorgeous!)

Oh, I think it works wonderfully on its own! I have many poems with no comments ... I think I have bad online breath or something, lol. ;-)

Thank you so much for the honour,Greg. Maybe my excerpt is less 'stand alone' than others but hopefully, some will read the entire poem.
