Notes About The Poem

Wild Thoughts

Fraught heart of desire I find,
breathe in like a child tossing wildflowers in the field
revel in some odd yet familiar proclivity
dance in the fires and sleep in the rain
feel not comfy but comfy in the extraordinary
for ordinary things are done by all kinds of people
Make sense to not make sense
fry someone's brain 
and when your time comes to go
die knowing you lived among the living
who walk every day like the dead.

Brian Sambourne March 7, 2022 at 1:34 PM A very apt poem for the dehumanization of modern times when living isn't the vibrancy we'd like it to be. Seldom do we celebrate fields of wildflowers. A shame. Overall, a very fine, thoughtful posting, JT. Congratulations! Best wishes, Brian Jessica Thompson March 7, 2022 at 5:32 PM Thank you for dropping by Brian and leaving me a kind reply. I hope today finds you well and you have a great week. Btw, it is a little nice when people stop to enjoy the little things. :) Jess

Poet Destroyer A January 21, 2022 at 5:48 AM Hi Jessica, wow... the ending was a wild thought. Dance in the fire (WILD) sleep in the rain <--- now that's an image I've never thought of or read in a poem. I LOVE it! Sleep in the rain *Sounds kind of peaceful. But, the brain part LOL... We are mindless I so agree. This is great free verse writing. Enjoyed. ~LINDA~ Jessica Thompson January 21, 2022 at 10:07 AM Yeah, I was kinda just going through the motions on this one and wrote what came to mind haha, Glad you liked this crazy piece haha.
