Silent One Poet Acrostic

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 February 15, 2024 at 10:44 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.

Duke Beaufort February 3, 2024 at 10:24 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).

Jennifer Proxenos January 31, 2024 at 3:50 AM Do we ever learn i have certainly repeated the same mistakes at times in my life . I love this poem and it's complexity and perplexiity, it's diliigencee yet turbulence and its disorirntion with which one struggles with for comprehesion. So well rhymed and assimilated an awesome write. Hugs and blessings Jennifer

Paul Callus January 30, 2024 at 1:33 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

Kelli White January 30, 2024 at 11:59 AM Well done SO, I have not heard that word in a long time, Kelli

Maria Williams January 30, 2024 at 3:52 AM Well I learned a new word today S1, thank you for that. Your acrostic is written so well. Great rhyme and flow to it, but more then anything you've described the word itself. Very creative indeed...Hugs

Jude Herrick January 29, 2024 at 2:12 PM Each sentence qualifies and flows, and the extra piece of rhyme to boot, nice !

Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2024 at 10:57 AM Excellent acrositic-ing, Silent One

Mike Gentile January 29, 2024 at 3:59 AM Silent, your Acrostic delivers on all levels in its portrait of mental mayhem! I hope for all of us that those moments are few and far between!! Happy Monday !!!

Victor Buhagiar January 29, 2024 at 1:35 AM Your original contrasts, full of metaphors and arguments show what a wonderful poet you are.

Joe Maverick January 28, 2024 at 11:05 PM Theres a bobble in world consciousness we Know it yet (they won't confess) this is causing Much distress.' And wobble in directions no less!.!

Beryl Edmonds January 28, 2024 at 7:12 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

Sotto Poet January 28, 2024 at 3:29 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.

Mystic Rose Rose January 28, 2024 at 3:27 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

Sara Kendrick January 28, 2024 at 1:34 PM Great way to go for the contest. It reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Kim Rodrigues January 28, 2024 at 10:31 AM Overwhelmed by the tangled web of perplexity, Mind's labyrinth twists and turns in eerie complexity… Unravelling pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to achieve coherence…and last 2 lines! Nice work!

Ink Empress January 28, 2024 at 10:23 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 Ink Empress January 28, 2024 at 10:24 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
