predestinations paradox
Posted by: paisley in 3ww, easystreet prompts, poetry, two for tuesdaysthis is a combination of the words found on 3ww, easystreet prompts and two for tuesdays…..
predestinations paradox
generic spawn of egg and seed
the empty essence of vanilla
spoon fed domesticity…
submissive scions through out history
sired to propagate the breed-
lessons learned and loves extracted
deviation, all but foreseen…
insurgent adolescence
hormones screaming freedoms name
the road less traveled
becomes a highway
paved, in smoldering apron strings..
enter a generation of inebriates
drunk,, on youths immortal wine
navigating life, under the influence-
all destinations, lost in time…
yet when the propencity toward age
has dulled the appitite for indulgence,
and even the stolen dew of youth,
has lost it’s glow…
when intoxication, can no longer lessen,,
that which is not willing to be ignored..
even the road less traveled
can circle around, and bring you home….

These two lines really spoke to me:
when intoxication, can no longer lessen,,
that which is not willing to be ignored
I know I’ve tried that route, without success. Your poem details a path many of us have traveled. You seal the poem well by making a full circle home.

A powerful statement. I’m not sure age dulls indulgence, though. Merely makes it slower
Excellently done!

4 a.m.?!?!? Good God, what time does Bone post the words?!?!
the road less traveled
becomes a highway
Love that … and hate it at the same time. Because it’s true and it really happens and I’m not always convinced that’s the best thing. Sometimes I think the road less traveled should stay the road LESS traveled. But still, the way you wrote it… beautiful.

I really like this one, but I would. Is there any other way home than the road less traveled?

I think my favourite image is “stolen dew of youth”. But really, I love the entire feast of poetic thought here.

paisley,
predestination; A concept more believed in than actual. I think in this regard that Murphy’s law is invoked.
And, sad to say, I think all roads lead to the same place.

Those last two lines here somehow gave me a complete answer in addition to your comments on my ‘Drugs’ poem, I never thought it from that viewpoint and your comment made me stop and think…and I admire and applaud determination to fight and survive, so thank you….BTW, I just got to see your mail as well, not sure why you were getting errors making comments, hope it doesn’t continue as i value your input much. Thanks again Jodi.

A vehement criticism on youth..You are not far away from such a stage.Let them learn by experience.
Thought provoking writingsd… Congrats…. kunjubi
