DISCOMBOBULATION

Dizzy mind is lost in a typhoon of confusion,
Inexplicable chaos is causing much delusion.
Scattered thoughts are echoing in disorientation.
Challenging the clarity, I'm struggling with comprehension,
Overwhelmed by the tangled web of perplexity,
Mind's labyrinth twists and turns in eerie complexity.
Bewilderment wraps its cloak around logical reasoning.
Overlapping emotions result in faith and hope weakening.
Bamboozled brain tries to fight for toxic clearance,
Unravelling pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to achieve coherence.
Lights keep flashing warning of upcoming turbulence,
An agitated stormy journey planned without due diligence.
Tormented by motions of disarray, I search for a remedy,
Identifying the source through mindfulness for serenity.
Organising and prioritising tasks to regain focus.
Navigating the fog to learn from mistakes that choke us.

Robert Sidwell Date: 2/15/2024 10:44:00 AM This was really an amazing poem. Taking what would seem like a “fun” style, but intermixing it with complex rhymes and relatable and meaningful messages. Impressive. Login to Reply

Duke Beaufort Date: 2/3/2024 10:24:00 AM I think the end is spot on. You sum up the solution to chaos in the last two lines in a way that we could use in a safety manual for medicine or aviation (not to mention everyday living). Login to Reply

Paul Callus Date: 1/30/2024 1:33:00 PM You were certainly not perplexed when writing this poem, S1.On the contrary you kept your feet steady on the ground and your wits about you. Writng an Acrostic in rhyme is not as easy as one might think. ~ Regards // paul Login to Reply

Beryl Edmonds Date: 1/28/2024 7:12:00 PM Marvellous Silent One, your Acrostic poem describes exactly what the word Discombobulation means, and how one may be feeling at this very moment. Beryl Login to Reply

Sotto Poet Date: 1/28/2024 3:29:00 PM You did an excellent job of making the meaning of discombobulation clear, and as a result, I was motivated to comprehend it as well! In addition to being quite strong, your acrostic did an excellent job of describing the issue. Login to Reply

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 1/28/2024 3:27:00 PM through mindfulness and serenity we get there my friend, the secret is not in denying our emotions and pushing them away but rather to observe them and then let them glide away like a paper sailboat on water. I like this Login to Reply

Ink Empress Date: 1/28/2024 10:23:00 AM What a powerful acrostic this is, a word m not so familiar with and can’t pronounce really, but you’ve nailed it, youv explained what discombobulation is and youv inspired me to write too for this word. I love how you’ve phrased emotions and confusion with metaphors and rhymes in such a clever and creafive manner. Especially loved “ typhoon of confusion” “ tangled web of perplexity” “ toxic clearance “ “ motions of disarray” .. mindfulness is the key definitely for serenity, although there are Login to Reply Ink Empress Date: 1/28/2024 10:24:00 AM Some disagreements around it depending on circumstances etc. but still i agree. And i also loved the flow and cadence of your acrostic! Pleasure reading various sides of your work as always silent one! You truly are an inspiration! BOL
