Evasive Thought

Playing with an evasive thought

That does its best to not get caught.

It lingers and then its gone.

Frustration is what it left behind.

 

Here I lie with trap all set,

Waiting is the master plan.

 Suddenly the thought appears,

I marvel and it disappears,

LOVE THIS, George! My kind of thinking... and frustration! Think about something else and it's BOUND to drop by, jealous and flirty and vying for your attention. Play hard to get and it will be yours... :) xx

Most people don't seem to cherish their thoughts as much as poets like you. By this poem and others that you've written you have delved into how the mind works and how we think. You are thinking what most people think is unthinkable. Bravo!

You did not mention what kind of thought it was, but I figure all thoughts are precious and are worthy of the time in thinking about.
