White Wolf Poet Rhyme

Searching:

Perusing the dictionary for words to enlighten,
That would illuminate through my paper and pen,
My mental absorption was in dire need,
I urgently required gaining a word seed.

Sadly my pocket Oxford lacks total opulence,
With pompous words, that may not make sense,
Quickly flicking the pages from A to Z,
Realizing a thesaurus is next in line for me.

It's rather difficult to be a poet unschooled,
It may appear as though I have been fooled,
As problematic as this is indeed,
I shall revitalize my mind to feed.

Leaving remnants of my past self behind,
In reminiscence, I shall quiet my mind,
For I am rather inquisitive for things to learn,
I just hope I don't injure my brain in turn.

Morgen Farmer December 18, 2016 at 3:34 AM Sometimes our brains explode searching for the definitions of words. This sums up the writing process.

Paloma P December 16, 2016 at 5:21 AM I love this Rick! Words and sentiments, a poet's best friend, you nailed it. 7+ A twisted brain is fine by the way, makes for the most interesting poetry. :)

Space Cadet December 16, 2016 at 4:33 AM Great write, and perfect ending. There's a Dylan Moran joke about Releasing Your "Potential" that the last two lines remind me of. Of course, it's just a comedy bit and not meant to offend. But you have perseverance and that, I think, reaps the most happiness. You have a way with words. -- Wesley C.

Vera Duggan December 16, 2016 at 4:19 AM Hi Rick I too can relate to your poem, I use a word checker as it is a pain in the ars... looking through a dictionary as you see by my poems they are very simple, thank you for sharing this delightful little poem and take care........Vera

Chris Green December 15, 2016 at 10:54 AM Yeah, be careful my friend. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" :) This was funny Rick and one I'm many on this site will find a connection to.

Probir Gupta December 15, 2016 at 5:38 AM A nice pursuit to learn ... rich returns at every turn ... this poem of yours very well done ... White Wolf December 15, 2016 at 5:44 AM This is true, and thank you /|\

Darren White December 15, 2016 at 4:31 AM I had to ROFLMAO here ;) because that is exactly what I do. Being a non-native speaker of English, I sometimes pull my hair out with sheer frustration, in search of the right words or expressions. White Wolf December 15, 2016 at 4:37 AM Hahaha, my father is Dutch too! But my only excuse is I never went to school! Haha. I'm glad you got a giggle /|\

Jan Allison December 15, 2016 at 1:45 AM Made me smile Rick I sure have learned a few new words since I started writing!!!!! I don't like to read or write a poem where a dictionary is required to understand it from start to finish lol:-) hugs jan xx White Wolf December 15, 2016 at 1:50 AM Haha, I know what you mean! And you taught me about 'hop tu naa' haha, have a good one, JAN, /|\
