Something is Amiss at Poets Corner

Author: Unknown

Something is amiss at poets corner.
I don't know what, but my hackles are raised.
It seems someone wants attention.
But not praise.
Then another player is brought in.
In the guise of another's friend.
I no longer am sure who is who.
Male or female.
Or what story they are trying to tell.
I do know I have always liked this little place.
Sad to see the ambiance go without a trace.
Adult or child?
I will just sit back and watch a while.

This poem is very effective in terms of evoking paranioa and self-scrutiny. Motives. Truth. Fear. Games. It's human. And it works well. Made me feel self-conscious and guilty for something I didn't do. As if my old, dead grandmother lifted her hands from beneath the grave and pointing shouted "YOU!"

maybe we should write poems that psychoanalysts can use to diagnose psychopathologies! this poem works on me like a very effective rorschat. My repressed grandmother, poor girl!

Hi, Proudamerican100,
It is hard to see something, understand neither what nor why, and not want to address it. How to do so to effect a positive outcome is always the challenge. Nevertheless, it is good to want to improve things. Thank you for your concern.

I agree with robinsoncurusoe. It forces me to examine. My motives for posting snapshots of my emotions on a public site. I never felt the need to do so before, so why is it I do so today? Your skepticism is represented well in this verse, and is most rightly justified. Very thought provoking. Thanks for the write.
