The title is the hardest part,
therefore
I've left it wholly blank, left it to your
imagination to supply the words
and I just carry on writing the verse.
There are no titles to my days and
nights;
they come and go behind my back as I
write.
The sun plays out his reel to hook the
moon
in the oceans of the sky, the tides
turn -
surge and ebb, surge and ebb without
headings,
without glossaries and footnotes
shedding
any insight, their whispers softly muted;
the dots of stars always unconnected.
Summing the whole with just a part, just
a phrase
seems bizarre, much better off with a blank
space.
HI Nila - "Life's Continuum" ... or a blank space ..
ReplyDeleteLove the verse .. and can relate to the ebb and flow, and the daily passing of each day and night ... the full moon pulls hard right now - cheers Hilary
Continuum is a word I would so like to use sometime! :-) Thanks for a great suggestion.
DeleteIs a title what one needs
ReplyDeleteto tell the story true
Does life need a title
between me and you
I tell you heart in hand
I liked what you do
Oh, I like your style of commenting. Hang on, have I told you that before? :-)
DeleteYes and thanks
DeleteIt might have been better if I'd said (like what) and not liked
It's okay either way :) detailed feedback always welcome of course. Have a great weekend!
DeleteSo true, in abstract or reality, the title is the hardest. History records the truth or does it?
ReplyDeleteDepends on who is doing the recording!
DeleteI love this title-free piece... and the way it continues from the previous piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think of a fitting word to capture the concept, but nothing comes to mind.
I'm thinking of words like, perpetuity/progression. Mmm. Not sure.
Cycle Of Perpetuity...?
