I left this poem simmering for quite a long while
Which if you knew me, that’s really not my ‘style’
The reason for this, I was trying hard to gauge-
Is poetry really such a strange language?
It’s dangerous I suggest to get to philosophical
Or you’ll end up with a poem reading somewhat diabolical?
A poem I guess, that should never see the light of day
Until you are satisfied you have something positive to say.
This poem is what could be classed a sort of work in progress
What the end result will be is anybody’s guess
If you are confused with what this poem is about
Too much psychoanalysing will in turn breathe extra doubt.

Love the ending C.J. I remember my Irish teacher telling us he wrote a bed time story for his daughter. It was subsequently published and we had to study it for Junior cert. He wouldn’t teach it, because he said it did not mean half of what they said it did. They were over analysing a simple bed time story about a mouse. Sometimes listening to my English teacher I thought he had a point.
