Love Poem to Free Association MAG

By Anonymous

A pencil in hand, I try to discuss the differing uses of Ser and Estar
But you tease me,
throw the paper in my face,
Then show me how much more
the world can be.

You’re so much fun to be around,
Because you don’t follow the normal progression
of thought,
Instead, preferring to choose a different path,
You amble along at the speed of light,
pulling me with you
away from orthodoxy, the straight-line
philosophy
and into unbelievable, all over the map.

Though some may stare in disapproval
at our tangential state of being,
Every night I say a silent thank you to
Freud –
Because of him, I’ve got a name
And a method to this brilliant madness.

You conduct my thoughts in a whirlwind,
and make simple existence a fantastical
dream,
An unbearable yet breathtaking venture
into everything that catches
our sparkling eyes.

Only Love Love can sometimes be fresh. Love can sometimes be new. Love can sometimes make you happy. And sometimes make you blue. Love is the light that radiates from your eyes. Love is your image floating in the skies. Love is true. And darling, the only love for me is you.

I love the meaning behind this poem! However, I have to agree that some parts need a bit of editing to strengthen the poem. Sometimes fewer words are better, as long as they are thoughtfully chosen to fit to exactally what your trying to describe.

I love the emotions and flow to this piece. And for ser and estar I totally get how you feel.

I love this. Especially since I had to do the whole ser vs estar thing a few weeks ago! =D

It's crazy because i know exactly what you are talking about. Seriously, I was reading about free association and fell in love with the sheer idea. And ser and estar? I still have no clue about them!

I like this poem as well. I like your use of words, but I would also recommend deleting some words so that you can emphazise your main focus.

Your poem = my inspiration. I really liked how the words were used beautifully, instead of sounding like they were forced out. Love the poem. The best poem I've read this year, in fact.

I like your poem it has real potential but i think you should go through and delete some extra words that get in the way of the true message. Just a thought
