Nu cle ar Wasteland

Where in the world did THIS one come from? It wouldn't let me sleep until it was written. And so ...

The deadly mushrooming of a word
that doesn't fit detonates
the poem all to Hell.  Damn it, that's
not what I wanted to say.

Best to turn out the lights, go to bed.
It will still be there
in the morning like bad news:
And if I should die

before I wake, never mind:  wasn't worth
reading in the first place.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (8/15)

Anything we take the time to right is worth the time to read Karla and thank you for writting this for we have all had days when the words just sat on the tip of our tongues.

If it's worth thinking about, it's probably worth writing about!

A philosophical question: If we know for sure than coming September next year the world will be obliterated by an atomic holocaust, will be it right to seek to father a children that by then will be three months old? Is not our duty to protect our children?
Nightmares of peaceful people provoked by the derranged ones in power.

I want to say kaboom, your whole brain just exploded like I have't cleaned mine off the wall a few times. If you're much like me, sometimes I can hardly wait to see what I might write next because I like surprises...Jerry

Karla--don't let the finger fickle of fate catch you by surprise, you're six inches from success----between your ears is your brain---so give it rest and claim the masterpiece tomorrow!

Sometimes my fingers move as I subconsciously "type" in bed. We never know when inspiration will strike.

I'm glad you survived the creation of this one.

Good one and we have all been there, it is even worst when everything seems to come together... rhytem, flow, meter, descriptives but all of a sudden one line don't fit

I have a whole file folder full of idealistic beginnings like that, which started like a sudden shower and faded to gloom.

Hi Karla,
'The deadly mushrooming of a word' I like that.
If you don't die you probably forget.
Ideas don't always stay until morning.
Best wishes...JDM
