Can A Mouse Be Macro, Day 66 of the 100 Days of Poetry @d-pend (experimental rhyme)
Can A Mouse Be Macro
.jpg)
is it macro
or just really close-up
confusion sets in
miniscule at first
growing monumental
a solution evades
the logic leap
looms large
like a mountain
to a mouse
insurmountable
I’m stopped short
my mind split in two
butterflied, fragmented
cogent thought misty
stilted and tangental
but then it sprouts
like a seedling
growing from detritus
a glimmer of hope
among the grey
escaping the mental
the answer settles
like blue on Monday
macro is sublime
sharp and stacked
just zoomed-in
unrecognizable
blurred and hacked
just like that last rhyme
but then maybe
my coffee is too weak
my screen cheap
decayed to pixels
perhaps
another cuppa
then I won’t be so
judgemental
This rhyme is broke
on purpose
Don’t try to mend it
I was being experimental

nice! =D
Thank you, Daniel:)
That was excellent and fun :)
Self-deprecation is an under-used writing technique.
My poetry would be full of that ^
Thank you, Neg:) I would love to see some of your poetry.
That is one weird looking mouse lol I like your rhyming has a nice cadence to the whole thing. Flows nicely even as an experiment. :)
Thanks, Molometer:) It's the cat who is keeping an eye out for macro mice ... he is on the macro-diet:)
Haha that's one smart moggy you've got there. Macro diet lol
I am her til close:)
Funny, I was considering my backyard today from the perspective of a little gray mouse that decided to inhabit it - I find macro photography usually helps me view reality differently, as did your poem
That is funny but I think all us steemit folks get on the same wavelength:) It's cool:)
I loved reading this. As for being judgemental, when we try to do that, we lose the beauty of reading the poem. A poem is written by the poet in a flow and not to satisfy others, I believe and so it should not be judged. Great work
I feel the same way. Thank you, Sayee:)
👍🦋
Thank you, May:)
Intelligent poetry and conscious of its development. I enjoyed it very much, dear Pryde.
Thank you, zeliera.
I am going to host a poetry exchange on Fridays. Come and post your poem from today there. Maybe a few more people will see it that way:)
