Elle Kilma Poet Rhyme

Stop and Start

stop looking and start seeing
stop seeing and start hearing
stop hearing and start listening
stop listening and start touching
stop touching and start feeling
stop feeling and start thinking
stop thinking and start believing
stop believing and start questioning
stop questioning and start watching
stop watching and start reading
stop reading and start dancing
stop dancing and start playing
stop playing and start enjoying
stop enjoying and start dreaming
stop dreaming and…
no, don’t stop dreaming

Paul Callus April 26, 2017 at 1:16 PM I like the buildup of this poem, Elle. A great part of our life is the fruit of dreams, so why not carry on dreaming! // paul Elle Kilma April 26, 2017 at 5:01 PM YES! Exactly. It only takes a thought, a dream. I'm a believer that we always work towards our dreams somehow, even if unconsciously. Thank you, Paul :)

Bl Devnath April 26, 2017 at 12:58 PM Beautiful poem read and enjoyed my dear friend. Loved always, bl Elle Kilma April 26, 2017 at 4:58 PM So happy you enjoyed the piece, BL. Thank you :)

Matthew Abuelo April 26, 2017 at 12:53 PM Interesting piece. Though I'm not sure how each one of these things are exclusive. Elle Kilma April 26, 2017 at 4:58 PM Thanks. Well, my interpretation is taking each feeling, thought or action to the next level--listening is superior to hearing. Feeling is superior to touching, etc.

Neil Alexander April 26, 2017 at 11:17 AM Great simple words in the right place just to touch where needed. Thanks Elle Elle Kilma April 26, 2017 at 4:55 PM Exactly. The complexity is in the simplicity. So happy you liked it, Neil ;)
