Bonfire of Verses – 28th April 2022
Twas
Wodin's Day, wintry the weather,
Cone Man,
prone to daydream,
Struggled
to pull thoughts together,
Before
dreams became more extreme.
Movement
should never be confused with action,
Twas
true, but movement could break a reverie.
Walking, even
in no direction,
Was the
way out the Desert of Apathy.
Walking
to the Working Man’s Club,
Cone Man reflected:
Anger was
superior to angst,
Action
was superior to anger.
Planning,
superior to mindless action
- without
a plan nothing happens;[1]
Plans
fail for lack of counsel,
but with
many advisers they succeed;[2]
Determination,
often the difference
between
success and failure.
Anger's sword stuck morose flint,
Sprang sparks of illumination,
Firing kindling of inspiration,
Inspiration grew into flaming verse.
Mind's resurrection moved the stone,
Breaking free of procrastination's reverses.
Darkness no longer chilled him to the bone,
Warmed by this blazing bonfire of verses.
