Maybe; the second most dangerous word in the English langue

Folder: 
2013

 

Maybe nothing is best left to the imagination

Maybe the imagination is a manipulative, backstabbing whore who will slip poison in your tea and alter your will at the first sign of a fever

Maybe things should be talked out

Planned

Agreed upon

Maybe trust is an illusion too

Maybe we both made a huge mistake

Maybe…

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

the first being should......

 

Maybe I just have too many maybes

I love it! Sooo Rabbit! I'm always fascinated with the conditional or situational and if and how it intersects with the concrete. You do that so well!

I do try to be as me as possible....clearly I think too much...which only turns out well because I write just a tad more than I think ;)

It turns out so "well" (I would choose a different superlative;-) so consistently because you place so much of yourself so boldly and intelligently within each poem Dear!

Beavis you always make my day 

<3

 

I promise sometimes I hold back...those poems just end up in a not done file labeled by year lol

 

I feel like I should put that comment on the back of my book "she places herself do bodly and intelligently in her writing" - Beavis from post poems (like the bits of reviews from the new york times)

maybe we all have too many

maybe we all have too many maybe's. 

maybe we waste our time becuase we think "maybe we should maybe shoould not.

maybe we all just struggle finding words to come up with other than maybe.

maybe if we quit acting on impulse maybe we will stop learning.

we are all just trying to figure out what the meaning of life is by living it each day.

maybe the meaning of life is thier really is no meaning.

It never hurts to look at

It never hurts to look at both sides of an equation. Even if it's only to be aware of the possibilities, or to alert us we are becoming a bit too over-confident. An ounce of prevention can be an amazing seed towards a budding rosebush of insight. Maybe doesn't always turn out bad.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I don't think you need maybe

I don't think you need maybe to look at all sides of a situation, I think when you are viewing sides before doing something you consider it more like 'could' or 'it is possible that' but me personally when I say maybe I am coming from a place of insecure panic and its a sign to myself to just relax and let my thoughts go. For me maybe is very clearly over thinking and over thinking NEVER goes well.

Grrrr just lost the comment

Grrrr just lost the comment rewriting now but that last one was much better! Recap: i think the line seems like its trying too hard or state the obvious. The last line you wrote hung in my head as I finished the poem anyway, if you like it like that,  that's all that matters, for me it lost something from the original, Id cut it and leave the reader to mull on it, but it is stil impressive none the less! Hugss

Legendary Thought Spasms

The spiel is this. Maybe is a compound

speculation of possibilities, nebulous,

intangible, often invisibly rendered just

to not shed light anywhere.

.

Legends are like captions

under the action to make maybe

clearer. Like perhaps, maybe

is a directional toward what can

or might become eventuality.

.

A thought spasms when there

is dissonance or a burp

in the brain. See what you

have don to make the misunderstood

muddier? I know, it wasn't the intention

or close to the point, but see

any-way, no-thing, be-fore, some-time

and per-haps for better definition.

Maybe life IS but a dream after-all.

RWR Recommendations for Portfolio Competition

My initial responses are the same plus - demonstrates with "whore" that you are not afraid of words - the impact is solid, but profane is a valid poet posture - sometimes it has to be. If the prof is a prude, you don't need to be in that class - maybe you can teach her/him a bit about contemporary poetry :D - A (risky, but the poem just rocks)

i agree

I few on the long list that are there for thier crass speach and bold expression, like perspective is a slut wo doesn't put out ...
