Woof! use that brain cell - or three
Says Fido to me, all this:
Try to work out at least some
Of the cryptic meanings in poems
If ya just can't work them out
Pass them to me to de-crypt
Though I say, modestly, and you know it too
That I know 99% of everything
The woofy fount of all knowledge
Well, almost all
I don't want to brag about it!
Cos you've got the other 1%
And he goes on, to me:
Ya must have more than one brain cell
For them to communicate with each other
Though I expect you've a maximum of three
Only telling ya the truth, ya know
I'm not insulting ya here!
Fido knows - he means well! LOL

Orchi a great write we have all suffered the plight. A poem too cryptic to discern only later to learn that the author too didn't know what he was trying to show. So don't feel bad if you don't understand the reader has the upper hand. It's the reader not author that has the key when it comes to poetry. Please excuse the ditty.
Thank you SB. Yes, we might get so cryptic that we, the poem's author, dunno what we're on about! lol.
Most welcome Orchi
BRAVO
Thank you T.
You're welcome
I'm the same with Dylan Thomas, Yeats and co.
I have to read the Poetry Analysis.
Well said.
Thank you K.
Dogs. They were working up a fine howling crescendo Friday morning at the veterinary office, one rather young German Shepherd driving it all cuz he was absolutely terrified. Charming and excellently rendered, thank you for sharing.
A lot of Fidos. lol.
Cryptic meanings = metaphors, in my book, Fido. Please include that in your new corrective programme. When are you going to operationalise it, and will we see improvements in orchidee's contributions here?
Thank you D. That's the best you get from Orchi in his Sir NS mode - says Fido. lol.
Why you be so grumpy. Poets here a smart. Persally I spend hrs writin poems
But when was I ever 'intelligent' to decipher any cyptic poems?! lol.
So cryptic poems now Orchi, is that the same as when you invented the wheel with four corners?
Andy
Thank you Gold. lol. I don't write cryptic poems myself, but I did invent that wheel with four corners. Doh!
Don't feel bad about that we have all felt that way , the reader can interpret it any way they want to, just like a song, each one has a different meaning to different people, enjoyed the read
Yes, I see - thank you PL.
You are very welcome
Fido is definitely very wise - time to listen to him and his musings
Thank you N. Yes lol.
lol - may he keep inspiring and commenting...
