    Poem Commentary

    trying something different

    A Cup of Mental Pause
    How do you do?
    I don't you know....
    Cannot decide
    Which way to go.

    For if it North
    Be my direction,
    It almost feels
    Like an infection.

    I spend my days
    In troubled thought,
    And make decisions
    All for naught.

    And if it's South
    For me to go,
    Would not take long
    A frown to grow.

    Nothing is stable.
    Every thing's changed.
    My only constant
    Is re-arrange.

    East or West
    A terrible plight,
    A no win fix
    For my inner fight.

    How do you do?
    I don't, you know.
    Cannot decide
    Which way to go.

    thanks for the advice John, it is well taken. mlea

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
