Peripheral Thoughts ....

....passing perpendicular
enable this feeble brain to
regain momentum
in its frenetic
pursuit of something
hugely prophetic to
enlighten you readers with a 
rhythmic
avalanche of profound
Love.

Then again, thoughts that are
hovering can in fact be an
outright impediment
unintentionally causing a stammer,
guffaw, or some other sophistic
hilarity to erupt
taking all seriously serious
spirituality off into the mundane.

Thank you, Sue, for encouragements and read, a poet sometimes is an atlas longing for help to put down what he must never put down. Thanks for the read. Anyone who understand the hovering thought knows. Great work, keep it up.

Wow, this is wonderful. I don't think I could ever write an acrostic with so much detail and so many letters. I love the last line a lot. It really ties it all together so nicely. Smiles from Lolita
