Notes About The Poem

Outlandishness

Outlandishness!
forsake me promptly
ink and exegesis
no reminiscence of yesteryear
                   unexpectedness

not all epistles
armchairs
philharmonic
autumn leaf looming
               omnisiouly close

throughout drudgery
utterly dehydrated
me, my pencils
lack of inspiration
             exsiccated

tears stream on face
For all anguish!
upheaval giving back voice
rivers dig deeper and deeper
             mysterious redundancy

"my pencils lack of inspiration exsiccated"...... It will not happen. Your pencil or ink will never go dry !

"rivers dig deeper and deeper mysterious redundancy" - so deep. Loved it.
