The Artless Freudian Poem by M.J. Lemon

Lovely write. A Freudian miss? Doing most with what you like most, being absorbed in one's 'ignominious Self'? Like this stanza: Remake nothing or everything. Depends on the vitality infused into that which you most esteem: ignominious Self.

After giving this some thought, I would say you have hit a home run. Great write Mj.

M.J., I think that Freud's brilliant student Carl Jung would have a field day with this poem. It's a stroke of genius. And one that I'll be reading more than once. Because each time that I read it, I'll find something refreshingly new.

Save time or save your mind or whatever gives you purpose and defines you' interesting how we go from tabula erasa to whatever defines us for whatever reason, chance and choices lead to strange foreign places when we ride imagination

Save your mind with positive morals. Thanks for sharing.

Spiro Agnew, missing commas, dropped periods....It just doesn't get any more Freudian than that...What, by the way, would Freud say about Agnew's dreams? ?
