SIMPLISTIC COMPLEXITY

Michael Edwards

 

SIMPLISTIC COMPLEXITY 

 

Complex simplicity:

the enigma of poetry.

 

Words written as one

in a poem spun

with a fertile pen

to be read yet again.

 

The enigma of poetry:

simplistic complexity.

    Very good simplistic complex write.

    Good write and pic Michael. But I'm not good at understanding cryptic stuff though. It floats over my head (like everything? lol) and I end up saying 'Dunno what all that was about'.

  • FredPeyer

    And the same goes for painting!

  • Its Raskolnikov

    Very accurate description of poetry, my friend.

      A brief and deep summarize about poetry.

    • Mottakeenur Rehman

      Echoing first and last lines in reverse ... I'm sure there is a name for this poetic form? Clever and enjoyable, Michael! The watercolor is enchanting!

        I don't know of a name for it - perhaps the last two lines should have read:

        The poetry of enigma:
        simplistic complexity.

        Thanks Louis.

        • Louis Gibbs

          That would work too.

          A beautiful painting! Absolutely adore the short but complex poem!

          Poetry can be enigmatic, but it can be simply too. Whether it is enigmatic or simplistic, the poem must work its charm on you... great write and very thoughtful...

          Poetry is an enigma
          For simple minds, like mine, it's complex
          For complex minds, it's simple

          Pleasant image, nicely penned
