For Karen Jones Stevie Wonder Contest
When you believe in things that you don't understand Then you suffer Superstition ain't the way - Superstition - Stevie Wonder you cannot map an open mind only pencil in the terrain substance of self flitters and sways confirmation bias produces a myriad of greys "I believe in you" I say to a friend because their existence helps mine ascend we're all in deep with nothing owned and it's human to want to be fleetingly known "I have nothing you want", I say to the wall as I'm panicking and trying my best to stall quite as expected the wall stays schtum but the walls have ears is a rule of thumb I've never done wrong by my own estimation and I'm quick to employ some self flagellation I'm all of a dither about who I can trust when anything and everything is called out as unjust superstition hasn't got me too far but faith in you is a door I've left ajar you're a tonic and a little devil-may-care and I just feel better knowing you're there

Di11y, you make reading a pleasure. I actually like your description of an open mind as being resistant to mapping--it just takes in. The business with walls is funny too. It's a very kind poem. Take care.

Diily Dally thank you for entering. Congratulations on your win! I loved your poem about friendship and especially your second stanza! Friendship certainly isn’t based on Superstition but of course I love that song! Have a great day!
