“Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Start now.” Rumi
The Whole Circus I like that my dystopian corners are quieter, and calm still weaves through the convoluted clutter of the greek tragedies of my life that disturb the meadows of my mind, as wind excoriates dry grass in late summer of the distended days of fiction on fire with lacerated confusion, so I simply shut the door and sat without expectation, letting the whole circus pass me by. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Billion neurons in our brain, each with its own tantrum. Indeed a circus. And their intricate connections – the ringmaster.
Beautiful poem. I enjoyed it. 👏👏👏

Reading this the thought passes my mind that I would love to write poetry with this man. Maybe you could do virtual workshops?

As a psychiatrist once told me (multiple times), it’s just monkey chatter. You don’t have to listen to it. And I don’t need to join the cavalcade of clowns either.

Its always the best letting the circus passing by. But afterwards, its always a need to clean up. 😉 Michael

We all need a respite from the circus around us and the cacophony within.
Well-written poem. ❤ All the best! Cheryl

I think we’ve been ripped off, more torture than entertainment, so yes we all do need a break. Thank you Cheryl.
