Enjoy The Ride Poem by David Taylor
Enjoy The Ride
I’ve got this ol rhythm a flowin in me.
I cant make it stop, it keeps goin ye see.
Its chugging along like a runaway train.
Its goin and goin, it has no real aim.
I’m typing as fast as I possibly can.
If I cant keep up maybe it’ll go off the track.
And where it is going, well nobody knows.
I’ve got this ol rhythm and it hasn’t a clue.
The reason its goin and what it should do.
And I really don’t know when it might stop.
Its express in expressing there’s something to say.
I just really don’t know if it will say it today.
Its chuggin along at a very high speed.
Perhaps you can join me to see what we see.
There’s a very nice motion in my mind as it plays.
This wonderful rhythm that’s rhyming away.
Well the rhythm is slowing its reaching a stop.
And I’m really quite pleased that: That’s all it’s got.
I haven’t a clue what it wanted to say.
And maybe it’s just so much better that way.
But perhaps it could be that it’s said it you see.
In that wonderful rhythm that was flowing in me.
David, don't ask me why, but all the time I was reading this I kept remember that song I Got That Rhythm In My Soul. You have got the rhythm in this piece. It drives you along like an express train out of control. L J said stream of consciousness is right. I imagine your fingers flickering over the keys trying to keep up with the thoughts pouring from your mind hoping to get everything down before the flow stopped. Cleverly written as usual and a thoroughly enjoyable read. David
Yes, the rapid rhythm is like running downhill with no control and going nowhere but getting there fast. This is a poem for the sake of the rhythm and the rhyme and the message is in the rapidity of the form. Stream of consciousness in a Tsunami moment that rushes over and through the content for it is the form here that is more important-like the words of Poe's Bells wherein the ringing tone is more important than the words themselves. L
Lovely flowing write David, keep the rhythm to write the ryhme, Love Lynda xx
