Mediocrity

sorenbarrett

 A drop floating on an endless sea
an urge to be more than mediocrity 
sweat augmented degree upon degree
touching others flow through psychology

Spoken words at a university
many others I tried to copy
no hope in a lock step army
art, dance, music no legacy

Locked stagnant, a hidden key
turn the tumblers with originality
drops of rain diversity
An ocean home found in poetry

    Yes – poetry is the form I find easy to use in order to push my views of the world and its ways. If I knew of a better way I would go there…any suggestions gratefully received.
    A rich write, Soren.

      Thanks so much for the read friend it means a great deal. Poetry is not just my way of transmitting messages but of organizing my own thoughts and sometimes changing them. A therapy for the soul. Your comments are valued and appreciated.

      And their all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same.
      I heard that song on the radio today.

        So I have thought and felt in the past and so they appear to those on the outside looking in but poetry is not just for the observer but for the one writing and from the inside they work their wonder. Poetry a therapy. Thanks for the read my friend.
