Fading letters ~ the sonnet.

I stare long and hard

Letters dance and fade,

I gaze longer and harder

Letters wane and disappear!

I think long and hard

Thoughts jumble and clutter,

I reflect longer and harder

Thoughts ebb and disappear!

I contemplate long and hard

Resolutions muddle and falter,

I muse longer and harder

Choices fade and wither!

 

So ponder not too long, else you shall waver

Do what you want, now and forever.

I like this poem. Hard to put words on paper sometime. I like the language and the desire of this poem. A very nice ending to a excellent poem.

You don't know how pertinent this is to my exact state of mind right now. I have just looked again sand cld honestly say yes, yes, yes, to all the states you describe in lines 1-12. And the wise advice in the last two lines is a welcome thing to read. Action this day! I enjoyed the pattern you spin at the end of each line ... and, my, does that worth 'wither' strike home. The word 'wither' seems to be the pivotal point. There is a horror it that notion, the idea of goofing around so long that by the time we are ready to move ... it is toooo late. I also enjoyed the gentle rhyme in wither/waver/forever. All in all a very pleasing write, but moreso because it is packed with meaning.
