Sanctuary Of Thought
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

In the sanctuary of thought,

Where an idea is born.

There is the intutive desire

To capture it before it escapes.

 

Then it takes a life of its own

When it is paired with other words

That can startle a reader with charm

Or bore him to sleep with nonsense.

 

The writer is supposed to know

The difference between the two.

How often is the writer blinded

Between this difference when he writes?

Your poem makes a point. Quality is in the eye of the reader. One person's masterpiece is another's garbage.

I only wish that commenters would be more honest with their comments about what authors write and not be fearful of repercussion. Family and friends are not going to discourage bad writing.

In this case, there is nothing better than a poem that makes a good point like yours.

George, we must both be sending "thoughts" out through the cosmos as I just finished a poem along the same line of "thought" this morning and about to put it out there.
We both have ESP I guess, ha!
Anyway, good stuff.

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
