Part of Me Disappears

   Part of me disappears
     without me knowing 
  Can’t reap a blessed thing
     no clue what I was sowing 

  North wind nips buds of yesterday
     icicles freeze every flower that sways
  The brain desires to work overtime
     while a haze swirls round 

   ~ ‘Tis not a victimless crime

Automattic Fav from the wild one!) Qualifies for a POTD….yes, I write long comments because I like to communicate, and I can’t communicate in five words. Outstanding imagery not requiring the use of a dictionary. It takes time to write a poem so I think myself as a human being understands that and I’m not gonna throw you a sentence in return for this work. Are you kidding? You deserve a lot more. Best, Pangie xx

Dear Wild One, I really, really appreciate your enthusiasm for this write. And, yes, it did take me 'more than five minutes to whip off.' With gratitude, Gershon

Poem of words of wisdom. I enjoy the discombobulated feeling it gives.
