Writing a Sand Thinking Poem by Steve McCaffery

Writing a Sand Thinking

Rating: 3.9


After the gossip one returns to grammar.
Almost to say that speech
compares us
renting that as a fact the case stands firm
for what we own.
Pragma
by relations instance this as
the index of my slab. Your
slap at it.
The clouds pastiche aubade
Sid's bakery delivers symmetry
inside an adult formula for
Saturdays. Our poppies
in history.

I admire your perseverance, Mr. Kurt. I have, too, read this a few times and encountered different shades of the same obscurity each time. :)

Its abstract and elusive, it definitely does not suffer from cliches. I like the evasiveness of it. To marks for originality

An experiment in obscurity. I wouldn't waste time attempting to decipher it, unless you are smoking the same substance the author was. (just kidding, there─but not just) Tangential works like this are more for the delivery of the texture of words and syntax, rather than the concrete meaning. Enjoy it for what it sounds like, and the images that may derive. Personally, Robert's image of thinking under the sand while seagulls gaze on in bewilderment is far more visually appealing. I give this poem an 8 by way of inducing Robert's 10+ comment. NB :)

Interesting poem, It is not going to remain permanent, like writing on sand.
