Just having some fun with my gift of rhyme and rhythm, just letting the words flow through as they will.

looking through mind’s eye as if in a trance perhaps due to circumstance or perchance the last dance then again on the fly without condescending blending all elements in sight I start to cry wolf wolf the fear has arrived disguised but still here feel the fear blowing in the winds of fate unknowing death seeks to end the lie just die bye bye die then come again with reason in another season to veer out of last dance trance to fly again in the universal wind

Yes, poet Bill. U had fun. A bit of rap, some Soul, even jazzy at the end: I see a serious message. We maybdie in some way, even as Adam & Eve the moment they disobeyed God. The universe will also never quite lose us: we exemplify recycled stardust . Shalom shalom PalmSun

Thanks for the kind words, Mike. It was an experiment, probably not my best form to write in, but I'll probably try it again from time to time. Have a great weekend my friend, Bill

Thanks, Karen. An experiment in poetic form, very unstructured for me. Have a great day, my friend! Bill

Cute. You're lucky to have such a gift. I always find it difficult to rhyme.

Before he was "Ali" the boxer Cassius Clay was the first person I thought actually though in rhymes as I do. I wasn't even a teenager yet and my thoughts were constantly in rhyme. By college time, I wrote my research paper in Oral Interpretation (2,500 words) in rhyme. Opps! The ego has arrived. my apologies for running on. Thanks for your comment, Victor.

Bill, this poem has a worldwide quality to it. Magnificently penned, innovative, and thought-provoking! "Blowing in the winds of fate unknowing death seeks to end the lie," was my favorite line.

A little unstructured, but by the last two verses, I got my second wind. :-) Thanks for your comments, Sotto. Your favorite line was the meat of the poem. Glad your enjoyed it. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

It's amazing where your mind will take you if you give it a chance to go. "Blowing in the winds of fate unknowing death seeks to end the lie," was my favorite line. Blessings ~ Debra

This poem has a universal feel Bill. Love the final line - "universal wind" indeed! Makes me think of the song "Save the last dance for me." Very unique and thought provoking! So glad you took a chance.
