week 78 ~ what is the distance between solitude
what is the distance between solitude
and loneliness between caution and fear
and is there a warning sign as you near
the border I think not but it’s been food
for contemplation these weeks away from
home we choose our prisons but we’re not meant
to stay in them for long life is intent
on moving us ahead so as I come
to the end of my time-out in Rio
and pack my bags to go without answers
to these questions of degree it occurs
to me that maybe I’d really have no
quandaries to resolve if I just let
time show me what I haven’t thought of yet

“maybe I really have no
quandaries to resolve if I just let
time show me what I haven’t thought of yet”…indeed true, sometimes we bother more than we could actually solve when time already has a master plan of teaching them all. I’m glad at the end of the poem, that line spanked you…great post…cheers!

?? a one-line sonnet– I hadn’t thought of it that way… anything like a one-eyed pirate?

Thanks! I am working on these classic rhymed forms. The sonnet is the one I’ve written longest, the decima is my new fave, and the villanelle still defies me, but I persist.
