Lost In Somehow
The night's turned dark
Moon's in full bloom
Wolves howling now
Lost in somehow

2) cont'd: That being said, I did include a great many that most of you had commented on. And that includes Rob! Once again, A world of THANKS to all of you!
Many many THANKS to M.J., Rose Marie and Adeeb for the 5 Stars. I'm still kicking myself in the for having inadvertently not including this poem in my writer residency application package!
The poem evokes a dark, mysterious nighttime scene filled with unease and a sense of being lost. The full moon and howling wolves create an eerie atmosphere, reflecting confusion or emotional disorientation.
Adeeb, your insightful comments have so very well summed up Kerouac's life! A great pleasure in reading them! Thank you very much, fellow poet!
That's the whole point, Rob! The confusion and emotional disorientation of Kerouac's life!
Very striking imagery. I could feel the darkness wrapping my entire being. Brilliantly crafted as always.
As always, I love your comments, Rose Marie! That kind of darkness was so brilliantly conveyed by Kerouac through Dr Sax. A world of THANKS to you, Rose Marie!

This is magnificent, Richard. While reading this I could imagine your words forming an integral part of The Moon Her Majesty.
That's a HUGE compliment, my friend! And it provides further impetus for The Kerouac Venture! A world of THANKS to you, M.J.!
