Misplaced Words

by Michael D Nalley   Oct 8, 2006


Misplaced words and misplaced thoughts
Tie my heart in little knots
I sort them out with my intellect
To examine my feelings in retrospect

Words stick in my throat like a lump of coal
Some silence torments a troubled soul
My mute mind meditates as I begin to think
Passion in me needs to be preserved in ink

The rhythm moves me, and I flow with the vibe
Adding order to the words I choose to scribe
How sad to look where a poem should be
If misplaced words were all we could see

    Undoubtedly a five here, great job again. One suggestion: "My mute mind meditates as I begin to think
    Passion in me needs to be preserved in ink

    The rhythm moves me, and I flow with the vibe
    Adding order to the words I choose to scribe"
    I think the rhythm of this section would be perfect if it was instead:
    "My mute mind meditates as I begin to think
    All of the passion in me must be preserved in ink

    The rhythm moves me all around, and I flow with the vibe
    Adding order to each of the words that I will choose to scribe"

    The rest is awesome. Nice work.
