Sotto Poet Poet Jueju

Notes About The Poem

Elixirs In the Body and Mind

Mind differs from the body.
creed of what we embody.
Start with phonetic rhymes
We learn to grasp algorithms.

How do they stay most-given?
A team, that is one-driven.
Does one's desire astonish?
Tell your brain to admonish.

A sneer on the mental brow
Appallingly booming blow.
Yes, you should follow this way.
Block each feasible pathway.

The body is sumptuous.
Warm at the pool alumnus.
Doesn't respond to mental bait?
Timing tools that might not wait.

Real truth lives in our minds.
We love looking for these kinds.
Someone else's nimbly leaping.
When daydreaming or showing

Tap a single rhythmic flare
Nicely made body and flair.
Youth seduced by its own wit.
Dyed mind slips out puzzle kit.

Intense male moot chittering
Had ample scorn, tittering.
That formed to smelt it anxious.
Let them nark what they cautious.

Let them each do as they please.
None of them came to a cease.
Until they met in the past.
As though it were for the last.

I'm watching Housemates.
Enter, discuss, and debate.
I can just watch them in awe.
Calm mind has cost me sorrow.

Complete a mental process.
Coupled with one's hidden progress
A quiet wait for game-start.
Clue that thinking must be smart.

A circle of live persons.
Anticipating reactions
Tense reactions preset dancing
How to strain when enhancing?

Look for life's necessity,
Needs love and austerity.
Focus beings on the soul.
How to live arty role.

If we grasp eternity.
Time and eons disunity.
One didn't equal the other.
We crave life touch void over.

Mind differs from the body.
creed of what we embody.
Start with phonetic rhymes
We learn to grasp algorithms.

Sam Kauffman September 23, 2022 at 9:19 AM Congratulations Lasaad. Eloquent writing in simple elegance with strong images. The thought you put into this poem is so evident giving it a depth to wade into many times. A poem of awareness! Blessings my friend. This poem is a gift!

Valsa George September 23, 2022 at 9:13 AM Brain and heart are different. So are body and soul. But unless there is co-ordination, life will become complex. Deep thoughts and masterly presentation. Your thought level is much higher than that of us. Congratulations on your win, dear friend .

Reason A. Poteet September 23, 2022 at 3:40 AM Nice form, JUEJU, seven (qijue) being the number of completion within some realms of thought. Absolutely, we are just on the edge of awareness of eternity and who man really is. Great pic - with man's eternal spirit on the wire balancing the mind and body.

Sara Kendrick September 7, 2022 at 4:50 AM I am delighted to learn about this form which I would like to try. From what I read it is really tricky so I probably won't be able to do it justice. I did not notice the form part last time I dropped by. LOL..A little dense I guess. Sara

Andrea Dietrich September 6, 2022 at 4:37 PM So interesting. You have a great way of THINKING of things that are deep and cause great reflection.

Jennifer Proxenos September 6, 2022 at 10:08 AM Elixirs in the body and mind - the mind has the capacity to indulge in the arena of love, magic it can conjure and love it can induce. The heart is an organ as is the brain that can pump with excitement if an aesthetic female passes, the brain can say no to the heart but where would we be if either cupid or clever nerd left us, we would die. Such a brilliant poem, my interpretation might measure up by a mere fraction to what magic you have created. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer
