Analysis of POETE de FOLIE



The maddening mind amid
Its own insane process
Sits within a liquid spool and spins

Weaves inane ideas deeper
Within his loom
Using silky thoughts of threads

Fashioning those desperate worlds
Tales of anguish are spent
Through frantic strokes of pen

Once loose,thus ends
Shall unravel the fragile
But, rational hearts posed of verse and poetic blends

And then, when the tailor has become, completely undone
It is because every tear
And last breath was finally spun

But, once again, to start where he has thunk
So with tempting genius he rethreads the spool
And the inner machine renewed begins to run

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
