I’ve gone round and round
until my excuses
and arguments
and lack of good sense
have twined into
a comfortable delusion.
Here I will rest.
Shh!
Here, I will rest.
This is a Magpie Tale. Go here to read other tales. Also, if you want to have your socks blown off, check out my husband's Magpie here - wow!
I love it.
ReplyDelete"twined into
ReplyDeletea comfortable delusion" - Ooh! Great word-usage, Bug!
That's dang fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this poem!
ReplyDeleteSo many of us build nests of 'comfortable delusion'. But, I hold my tongue this time. Shh!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
i really like this...nicely done indeed
ReplyDeleteVery reflective. A good match with the picture.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I get so caught up in your funny side that I forget what a good poet you are! Well, you ARE!
ReplyDeleteNice movement in this poem. I might, if anything, work with the line break to slow it down at the very end so that the reader "rests with you. " Do you get what I mean?
ReplyDelete.. 'comfortable delusion' ~ you hit a home run with this Magpie.
ReplyDeleteFascinating word play.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can relate to this....a powerful write Bug! :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent...love this, Bug...
ReplyDeleteI read some other poems to do with this photograph & yours is my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteThis appeals to me. I was never good at delusion. Always met things head on no matter how unpleasant. Then I had a teenager. Delusion can be nice.
ReplyDeleteSO do we ALL live in some kindof a delusion?? I do believe we DO! Now, do we all KNOW IT!!?!?!?!??!
ReplyDeleteSuperb - love the reflective perfection.
