Juliet Ligon Poet Lento

Overanalyzing

Deep are the questions, like quicksand sinking
Seeping into a restless mind pressing
Weeping with release, yet overthinking
Sleep comes uneasy with dreams distressing

Heaps of concepts lead to faulty linking
Steeping upon words without expression
Sheep are miscounted with rapid blinking
Leaping to conclude a wrong impression

Sara Kendrick January 2, 2021 at 2:10 PM Sometimes we put a lot of thought into some deep questions but never come up with good answers. I hope that you found some answers ...Thanks for all the visits to my page. Sara Juliet Ligon January 3, 2021 at 11:45 AM Thanks, Sara. I don't tend to dwell on "what if's" anymore. This one just sort of came through the rhyme scheme, but the mind can definitely get things stirred up if that's the focus. Blessings.

Andrea Dietrich December 14, 2020 at 11:01 AM This form is not one I am too accustomed to, but I sure like what you did with it, Juliet! Juliet Ligon January 3, 2021 at 11:40 AM I'd tried it for a contest a while back, but got stumped and set it aside until now.
