a thought in flight

a thought in flight pauses
on its panting path
to touch a pensive mind
the rushing notion
defies the mocking ripples
of many words' estuary
cascades vehemently along
till it ponds in solitude

lost in the obscurity
of a verbal world
the thought slowly turns
into a crafty alphabet!

I like a challenge. I was also looking for a place to swop ideas. Neopoet seems like the most likely place.

Hi RichardIt is heartwarming

Hi Richard It is heartwarming to be accepted like this. I feel rather humbled... looks like i have come home at last. In South Africa, normally regarded as the friendly country, one would expect to get a reception like this. remind me to sent you an Afrikaans poem.
