Contradicting...

by N J Thornton   Apr 3, 2007


Camomile as tea
cautious as a lemming
(contradicting...)

Tip-toe prints in fine sand
visible
as a black kite at nightfall,
and significant
like the grains
clutching to my smooth skin,
heeding a skipping
escape.

This was written using "jiggled line breaks" but this site doesn't allow such formatting, so...this will have to do.
In brief it's about life, nature, the world around, and everything under the sun....
I'd love to know each individual readers interpretation and thoughts...thanks...

    From my comprehension .. The second stanza is speaking of invisability. The first I'm not quite sure. I don't get 'Camomile as tea.' But, I do get the second line. At first I thought the first stanza was contradicting the second, but I'm not quite sure. :| About, any of my thoughts ont his piece except..
    It's original.
    Therefore, I love it. :]
    I also the love fact that.. it's leaving questions. :]]

    Keep it up.
    Ohh, great vocab. btw.

    Slightly... pointless and disappointing. I didn't really get anything out of it. I know it probably is well written and i may just be missing the meaning and it is going right over my head but... Huh... oh well.

    And, may i ask, is What is the CONTRADICTING... factor in this poem? I'm not quite sure i Get this meaning.

    And BTW: In your other poem, i accidentaly mistook [im]moral for [im]mortal, and i was suggesting you title it [im]mortal but since it was [im]moral, my err and sorry for the mistake.

    Still, as always, your vocabulary does prove pleasing.

    5/5
