Valsa George Poet Free verse

Vagrant Thoughts

During day, mind is clogged
By a thousand thoughts
A pot of marbles upturned
On attempting to sweep them together
They slip and slither
Running this way and that way

At night, after their vagrant wanderings
They come back to roost
......................... if not insomniac!

Sotto Poet December 22, 2021 at 12:51 PM Valsa, your poetry speaks for a large group of individuals. There's often too much happening in our minds to keep track of everything. Valsa George December 23, 2021 at 9:50 PM You are very kind Lasaad ! Have a Merry Christmas dear friend !

Vijay Pandit December 22, 2021 at 9:04 AM Thoughts wander when life's balance is disturbed. You speak for many through this poem, Valsa. Valsa George December 23, 2021 at 8:09 PM Yes true. Man is constantly visited by complex thoughts. It needs special training to focus them to a point from wandering away ! Thanks a lot Vijay !
