Seeing What You Read

Rating: 5.0


When I read or write
I see and feel things differently.

like a water fall
into a cist pool
of abstracts

only mirrored
can you see
the true reflection I see,

How many colors do you see
when you read?

Try forcing a square
into a round hole,
or see the sky,
a blanket of wonders
as the only thing
that makes sense
with its diversity.

Can you feel the venom
of frustration
feast on self-esteem
leaving behind
a shell of doubt?

Is it a learning disability,
to see and feel things so differently?

And if you spell RACECAR backwards....do you know what it spells? Ahh, yes...astute, witty & abstractively refine penning, my dear.At one time, when i started writing seriously 2 years ago...i would often take a vacation from my style-norm...and have some creative, fun with cryptics, acrostics, etc....Edgar Allan Poe, who is 1 of my 5 favorite Poets, mastered the art of delivering messages & information about his private life via coded penning.He would entice his Reader to carefully consider all possible interpritations by forcing them to acutely read through & between every line of a work that alegedly held a piece of his life within it.....In one of his poems, if you follow a certain pattern...it will unveil his last known address in Boston, Mass.Good Job here, Tracey! ~ FjcR ~
