Paloma P Poet Imagism

Realizations and Translations

Somewhere between here,

blase and tomorrow's

derangement, lost the plot in

a moment of coherent clarity,

'twas quite a peculiar notion

unsettling predicament of

knowing one's own psyche,

silently questioned the

absolute mindfulness,

hardly sure whether to

heed or trust abstruse

insomuch as the validity

mid concise advice of

internal voiced concepts

shanghaiing neurons,

haranguing harbingers

hung on haphazardly

'til giving up on

any possibility of

sensibilities' solution,

acquired a migraine trying

to comprehend saneness,

there's a mental jolting,

dash of disappointment

mid virtual realizations

and literal translations

of who and what we are

[realistically] as opposed

to 'who we think we are'

fallen into rabbit hole madness,

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"...

Chris Green October 27, 2016 at 12:35 PM One pill makes you smaller and one pill makes you large. What a twisted winding path you weave with this one Paloma. The only insanity in poetry is poetry and that is about the sanest thing I can say right now. Off with their heads!

White Wolf October 24, 2016 at 12:14 AM Great one Paloma, I enjoy your style of writing. As long as we stay down the rabbit hole we'll all be OK. Ha. /|\ Paloma P October 24, 2016 at 4:27 AM Good idea, disoriented and deranged is poetically perfect. :) Thanks so much Rick.

Steven Henderson October 23, 2016 at 3:13 PM Words of wonder Alice if may so bold. Speaking in regards to this story told. Peace and many blessings to you. Steven Henderson October 24, 2016 at 5:45 AM Obviously! Cheesy smile! Paloma P October 24, 2016 at 4:25 AM Alice doesn't live here anymore. :) Thanks for your rhyme review Steven.

Phillip Garcia October 23, 2016 at 2:15 PM Ha - Seeker always says much better what I would clumsily spew out. This was brilliant and I'm not sure how I missed it earlier. I was especially fond of the following snippet: "shanghaiing neurons, haranguing harbingers hung on haphazardly" - you should lemme borrow the shanghaiing neurons line, it's kick a$$ Paloma P October 24, 2016 at 4:23 AM Thanks Phillip, you say it just as well, gotta love that word shanghaiing, you can borrow it but you have to give it back. :)
