Hyperbole

Hyperbole

After reading and writing

About rains clouds mountain and hills

Glorious sunrises and lingering sunsets

An eerie feeling stares at me

Rather haunts me nowadays

Of being imprisoned

Inside a shrinking bubble

Of ever closing horizons

While many bubbles float past

Which were never explored

Not touched nor even looked at

In a lifetime lived in

Hyperbole

Had assumed

That thoughts flowed freely

In mountains and valleys of mind

Creating a paradise of falls and streams

Nourishing my Eden

And that eerie feeling struck again

What if my perceptions

Flowed from a single pipe

Unbending and rigid

  1. Yesterday I came across a new word for me, punctum. A small point. I read it can mean something so small that people overlook it. If we try to see them , they will add beauty to our lives. Your poem made me think. Well written.
