Silhouette of Thought (Word Around the Room Poem)

Under the spontaneous moonlight,

The starlight portrays a vigorous silhouette

Sneaky. Similar to a raccoon.

Later retreating and recoiling as less light is present.

The sound it produces is blatant and tintinnabulous.

Mentirosa, I realize that it may be a soliloquy.

My thoughts are dedicated to exaggeration

Growing each second, similar to popcorn

It’s difficult to quiet these thoughts

Can’t get rid of them; flushing them down the toilet

Can’t heal them; ointment on a cut

Can’t pack them away; paper into a satchel

Can’t make them shapeshift; magician and a frog

Can’t you see?

I’ve let my thoughts veer me from the silhouette

The genuine and luxurious silhouette

The silhouette of my own imagination
