Syrup Syndrome

Ceremonial serums reconstruct sickness,
Syrups deconstruct what is stuck...
Powerful potions relieve with a quickness,
Liquids laced with bad luck...

Syrupy spirits so sourly sweet,
Relief with no substitute known...
Elixirs, consistors of poisonous treats,
Belief in my syrup syndrome.....

"And still they gazed, and still their wonder grew,
that one small head could carry all it knew."

So that's how experts write poetry.
Letters, positions, word counts,
finalizing....

Like people who are good at physics play piano well, not by feeling
it in their fingertips and feet, but as a mathematical equation in their heads, translated to their hands by reading a page of music.

God help them!

But yet, see the response you evoked?
So, are you or are you not??

No wonder you want to keep redirecting me to the "Poetry for dummies" page.

Hello again Jeanie. ....thank you very much for finding this one.
I however am not a true poet. I am more like a lyricist. I do like to read and write, but in all seriousness I am not a real writer of poetry. Yes I can write clever and tricky wordplay, but it is nothing compared to the real writer's here. All the same....thank you very much.....purple heart

Jeanie. ...you are no dummy. I was just kidding when I said that, and I only said it once, not numerous times. .....Mick said it very well when he said that this is a new Jeanie that has learned from harsh criticism. ....you are very welcomed here dear.....thank you my Irish friend. ....

Brought this back for Rob.....the kidney stone lodged in an unwelcomed area
has prevented necessary sleep, which in turn has been a stark reminder of how demons use their expertise to relieve pain with poison.....cheers

I left yet a part of my soul was kept
And then it left a residue of shadow
Beyond recognition or time stamped
And here it comes to haunt again

You some how makes me churn
Fantastic poetry beyond myself
It resonant with Aurora of the ocean
And falls beneath your feet Christian

Danesh,......This arena is not for competition. You are an extremely gifted writer that defies all logic, especially considering where you have, and currently reside....Given these facts, you too are a master of words. Some of my favorite pieces on the corner were written by your very hands..... “Devil’s Dice,” is a true masterpiece,.........crafted from infants bones??!!!! Now that is absolutely next level....I don’t think I would have ever thought of such a brilliant line that was certainly appropriate for that poem....Thank you for your positive feedback, but you are outstanding yourself. Never forget that bro.

My esteem Christian , I come across people are culture where they are egonistic or selfish, and mostly hypocritical.... But god sent wise ones are like you and other poets who makes everyone see the 'light' in their works .

I'm afarid we will be losing a lot more precious ones with this Covid-19 .
Stay safe and blessed teddybear
