Here it comes

The lucid spin
Here again
Brain pushing
Thoughts rushing
Eyes closed
Mind poised
Here it comes
This is some

The uptake lull
Head so full
Need to scream
Make it seem
A barricade
That it made
Should get out
Only doubt

Fall to earth
What’s it worth
Feeling down
Like the clown
Shake, confusion
Still illusion
Hands, visage
Life's entourage

©2006 Hey Hey

Elegantly eloquent, my dear friend; I love the way you handle the short lines, and the overall quality of craftsmanship which is a hallmark of your work. The rhymes are especially satisfying in this poem; I think this is one of your very best; in any case, I love it.

A thousand thanks to you not only for this and all your exquisite poetry these years, but also for your excellent moderating of the Poetry Board; your contribution is tremendous, and we would never be what we are here without you: thank you, my dear friend. I apologize again for not being better at moderating; I am just grateful for you, and amazed how you always seem to say what I would say were I a little less depressed and a little more functional (actually, you probably say it better than I would say it; certainly more succinctly in any case).

Please know you are appreciated. And loved.

Respect and solidarity,

+Stevie
