quietly misaligned

Haha the best new poem list is like a party where all alternative universe versions of us can all mingle - I just said hi to limerick version David! Welcome to the #1 spot 🥳 I just saw existential David I'm sure!

Ahhh quietly misaligned! How deeply that speaks to my soul! As much as I would try shaking thoughts that bring earthquakes to my heart, I still remain silently resigned.. the cadence of what you've conveyed here is beyond describable in words as there's so much to feel and sink in rather than just read! Gosh! Very few poets leave me lost for words and officially, you are amongst them, dear David.. this is brilliance at its peak.. I really liked that ending with psychopath kind! Isn't that so true though? Jus wowwww... One of the most outstanding monokus I've ever read and you've inspired me to write one, it's been such a long time! This is surely and sincerely going in my FAVES ~ Such an honour to be able to read your thought-provoking poetry 💫💫✨✨

Unfortunately so!

Such profound words. I agree 👀

The rhythm of your rhymes ~ and the depth of what youv conveyed, it feels like you understand how we work, sometimes, I tend to resign when overwhelmed, sometimes we need that, and to be a psychopath isnt always wrong, Aristotle said "no great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness" True! And most poets resonate with that. I think what youve said can be interpreted on so many levels! And one that I would like to touch is ~ how you started this monoku. Because, we write also to empty our mind, I absolutely loved this and will fave! I like such real thoughts poetically delivered sending you light always Pleasure reading

Hello David, Okay, I felt such a strange tension, the desire to empty my mind, to scuttle my ceaseless machinery, set against the fear of what rises when I fail. I think the psyche is never truly still, only rearranged in emptiness. There is a fragile balance between resignation and awareness, the terror of realizing that our inner life can tilt, even slightly, toward something undefined. Defiantly a Davidian poem, sharp, unsettling, beautifully distilled. Blessings, Daniel

Could be. Clever poetry this be. Delighted to read you today, inclined I do dare say. xomo

Well, as you know I have marvelled at the friendly (self disclosed) psychopath@work. Their capacity for empathy & compassion (well, from the receiving individuals perspective) knew no bounds! It was great fun to quiz him when he advised he was a psychopath & he really wasn't troubled by it. He admitted being completely unmoved by any plight but was always aware of the way to handle an event to meet the set objective & it being more pleasant for the individual often was less bother for him 😊 I suppose it's a case of understanding what they care about 😊

Hello to you, David... it's been a while. My thoughts often gather too quickly, causing me to yell, "Disengage!" It prevents the rage of having a psychopathic mind. Happy to see you here and there. Well wishes for you, my loyal friend.
