KNOWING

Louis Gibbs

 

I know not

How I know

Things I know

 

I only know

That I know

 

 

Exactly what

It is I know

 

I really

Can't say

 

Only

 

Of it I'm

Quite certain

    I don't know if I don't know something I don't know because I don't know if I don't. Oh the sort of verbal nonsense I just love - nice one and hope you had a great day - sleep well Louis

    • Louis Gibbs

      "Verbal nonsense" ... I think that describes most all of my postings. But oh well, it is fun to exchange with fellow poets. Thank you kindly for your most gracious reply, Michael!

      "Oh, I know!" ( Quote from a wonderful UK comedy called "Faulty Towers")

      • Louis Gibbs

        Well, at least you know a quote. That's something. I appreciate you reading and replying, Goldie!

        Do you know what you don't know?
        And how do you know if you know it or not?!
        And so on.... Good write Louis.

        • Louis Gibbs

          The answer to your questions is ... I think I don't know. But on second thought ... no, I still don't. Thanks for your deep thoughts on this subject, 'O'.

          This is soooo deeeep, Louis! Had to read it a few times just to get over the first few lines. Am still wrestling with the intellectual impact, but that it is a gem of a poem, of it I'm quite certain!

          • Louis Gibbs

            And I certainly appreciate your wonderful comment, Fred! Hope you had a good turkey day.

            I actually understand Out’s comment. I’m in shock that I do!

            Your write actually makes a lot of sense! It’s that little voice within that speaks to us! So we know things without knowing how we know them! When we’re asked, “ How do you know?” and we don’t have an explanation, our response usually is, “I just know”!

            • Louis Gibbs

              Precisely, Laura! Personally, I believe that we come in with accumulated knowledge, 'soul knowledge', from many previous lives.
              Thank you so much for your comments!
