Notes About The Poem

Prior to Intent

hovering in limbo
ideas strewn about
lacking sense or reason

images suspended in mid air
notions and impressions
floating and colliding

vague feelings in the raw
idly drifting meet their match
simmering a stance 

before long ...
thoughts are forming notions
interpreting and framing
and a plan's laid out for action
