Forgot the Knots

In your error there is a'way making 
Whilst striving in your searches collating,

Are they blackly scrawled your inky walls.?
Truly "A vice" this undertaking...

Explain peruse or buying extra shoes
True vanity versus inspiration.

Robert A. Dufresne Date: 11/16/2011 3:42:00 PM hhmmm I did not buy extra shoes but did peruse and came up with true inspiration is always versus verses of vanity. and when inky walls are blackly scrawled ... I can't see the words too well.... and if in error there is a making then whilst striving in searches collating there is still a creation ,Okay Joe that's all I got on it. brain starting to smoke a little now ..better stop. : ) Login to Reply

Wilma Neels Date: 11/6/2011 9:46:00 AM Thought provoking piece Joe, but that is the norm when it comes to your gems, enjoyed it!! love Wilma Login to Reply

Date: 11/4/2011 2:42:00 PM Interesting thoughts to ponder about. I like the title. Thank you for sharing your poem with us and for your kind words on mine. Karen Login to Reply

Judy Ball Date: 11/4/2011 10:16:00 AM Hmmmm This is real food for thought my friend. Makes me think someone is having trouble linking their words together to make some kind of sense out of their thoughts. "So many thoughts, such a small mind?" Is that it. Whatever, I like this.
