Bright
objects
hypnotize
the mind, conceal
discernment in a
tapestry. A spinning
top wobbles and slams into
wall. A pear shaped diamond ring at
Tiffany’s. A shooting star. A slot
machine paying a huge jackpot. Bright things
hypnotize the mind. Sunshine mirrors sea
headlights glare inside island tunnel
the full moon’s steady starless ascent
a thousand candle watt light
shined into the starving
dark Chilean eyes
of trapped miners
surviving
major
stress.

I write on Boxing and dabble in poetry. I think this is a great medium of where they meet. Vegas Baby!
Thanks–appreciate the feedback. Stay tuned!
Bringing objects together is poetry. Love it.
Thanks-liked what I saw on your blog too!
Wow. “Sunshine mirrors sea” has to definitely be my favorite of bright things to hypnotize my mind. Love it!

All the best.
I really like the shape of your poem. Nicely done. : )
Thank you
I like this poem a lot. You certainly captured the mood with these words:
starving
dark Chilean eyes
of trapped miners
Did you follow the whole saga of getting them out? Amazing scenes, weren’t they?

bright objects hypnotize the mind,
bright objects are chronic, hypochondriac, vulcanizing the mind
bright objects dance in mind, dance with mind
bright objects are objects of the mind
shaped by the mind
perceived by the mind.
Brilliant–I used a strict form-there can be many responses to this prompt!
well done,
amazing..very interesting..:-)
Well done, It is a fast-paced poem that feels like it is taking you down deeper and deeper into a tunnel of mystery with its words. Its suspense at its best! GREAT JOB! 😀
Feel free to check out my poems as well and let me know what you think! 🙂
Bright objects hypnotize the mind – a great title, rhythm, cadence, whatever
I could have done with it at the end where it would have had a dying fall – Bright objects hypnotize the mind – and a clang of finality to it.
Thanks for the pleasure
