Susan Woodrow Poet Free verse

Kc's Byrdnest

Keeping flippant thoughts in check 
Convolutions make a schizophrenic toss
blind paranoia into the catatonic tomb
yelling whispers caught in mind cacophony
Rest the head in a drugged-out succor!
Deafen the sententious words – dead -
Nuke the firing adversary neuron!
No aesthetic can anesthetize the thinking demon
expounding beyond the bliss of ignorance
Stewards imagined become abominable ghouls!
Tangles exorbitant unravel contemplation’s nest…

John Watt March 15, 2021 at 1:40 PM Susan, I have struggled with this all my life, as did my mother. Now my son! Maybe it's hereditary, or perhaps it just comes with certain personality types. My sister falls asleep the second her head touches the pillow, lucky her. Wonderful writing here ~ John Susan Woodrow March 15, 2021 at 11:09 PM Thank you John ... yeah I wish i was like your sister! :)

Suzette Richards March 13, 2021 at 11:37 AM Busy with thoughs all day, design and plan. Then come night time with its unbidden thoughts. Suppressing thoughts are like bobbing corks in an tumultuous ocean for me. Great write, Susan :)) Susan Woodrow March 15, 2021 at 12:44 AM Thank you Sus...funny thing about corks is i was told while riding out a storm at sea to imagine the sailboat as one .. it helped my terrors for a bit then i was back to thinking lead keels are so heavy etc, ... :)

Michelle Faulkner March 9, 2021 at 8:41 PM 'The thinking demon' - something so sinister in that, very astute on how medication can not stop the obsessive track of our minds~ Susan Woodrow March 10, 2021 at 5:13 PM yes - thoughts can be so disabling sometimes :)
