A diary of a madman.

A Poem by andrew mitchell
"

something different I hope.

"
A diary of a madman.
Discontent lies
on feelings not met.
Was there a taming of the shrew
or the shrewd?
From whence the bread came, fresh
I became stale.
Did the atoms rejoice on her departing?
She was a few electrons short on her passing!
I bought a carpet!
No magic ride!
She spoke of words
not supporting my wheels!
Nor the feed
for the need
kept me satisfied.
A diary of a madman.

Interesting piece. I picture a break up, and the scrambled feelings that sometimes accompany the loss. Perhaps I am totally off base but that is where this one took me.

This made me laugh, then ponder, then grin a wry grin - but not necessarily in that order.
Overall it is like a rubiks cube that one can flit around to read an entirely different poem. (Sure a madman wouldn't keep things in a chronological order anywhoo, am I right?) lol
I like it
