Qoheleth

a confusion of conundrums, 

with lexicon's of verbs and phrase,

some mixtures of couplets rhyming

plus stanzas of wordy flow, 

the diatribe of tribluation, 

oh..! go on blame it all on me...

But no! i must conclude with this invocation..)

i call to witness poetry...!

Ah! A poem by Joseph I haven't read. No wonder. With my 6th grade vocabulary I am unable to put the puzzle together. I suspect this is exactly the purpose of your wit. You rascal. Love, daver

Oh, a new poetical term, Joe?! I've already had to wrap my brain around the Haiku form! Still, I think your conclusion is correct, when one calls forth the "witness poetry'! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

Hey, I landed again on one of the last poems I ever found of yours to comment on, but that was in May! By the way, what was the meaning of Qoheleth here?

Sounds like you are a judge calling poetry to the witness stand? It helped me a little to look up Qoheleth on google and find this statement: all is futile under the Sun!

There is so much we can read between the lines of great poetry. On the surface, we may find a "confusion of conundrums" or a "diatribe of tribulation," but this is often the nature of poetry, Joe. Beautifully written, my friend. Love, Carolyn
