mental collides (Free verse) by nentwined

I woke up on this day (like any other day) with not a drizzle (of suspicion) clouding my sky; the mist was in (real, wet) but I was not afeared... (not afeared yet). I set about my (simple) tasks -- I won't describe ('less someone asks) ... let's just say nothing (all that) complicated. not yet. The complexity of (simple things) entwining (their simple designs): my life (a collection of) simple strings (come a ball of yarn) being tossed around (by kittens). With a momentary reprieve (balance granted) I might (just might) be able to grasp (the tiger's tail) and begin the climb (one string at a time) to its head. not yet.

Wow looks like I've influenced you quite a bit. Good work. This poem is great, I liked it a lot. It demonstrates and illustrates a feeling which can't be demonstrated directly, the sort of hazyness that is paired with thoughts of this nature. I would like it if it was a bit clearer - the "not yet" carries some weight but not quite enough. On the other had, the "not yet" is good since it doesn't bring any other entities into play, it simply marks one's place in time. I'd have investigated something more externally verbal, like "wait for it", that is, if I wrote this sort of poetry.
