Sir Real

                 I mime thinking outside the box unseen                slinging Schroedinger's cat through the static                lift the lid of uncertainty to glean                the charging claws that have grown erratic                crop the crops to infer from infinity                so small a matter dancing on maybes                breathe of undimensional trinity                read as dice playing upon a stray breeze                windmills churn the waves where existence rides                on the strings pulled by dragons wagging tales                slapping at the lances that seek the hides                to pierce the flames that swallow the details                 looking ever inward we build larger                 speeding faster oblivions charger

Title: Sir Real The title did not draw me into read this poem; I have come back to this a number of times in an effort to critique. I was not compelled, not sure why either. Perhaps the first line held me at bay. And so important is the beginning to interest the reader, one chance to hook and invite. The ending on this first line seems forced inversion or "box unseen" = unseen box Perhaps I need the image. Ponders if a re-arranging of the second with the first would help invite. I know it would mess with the other 2 lines also, but easy fixed in order. (a suggestion, you may have other ideas to help this) End stops give natural period pause or comma pauses, other types of punctuation could add some other drama; however, it is a choice to punctuatate or not. A method that works here in this modern sonnet form. "breathe" = breath Perhaps "the" is not needed: "to pierce the flames that swallow [the]details" Last line: "speeding faster (in) oblivions charger Some suggestions, I enjoyed the meter and content of this, it brings the science and nature of the ethereal in for the reader to ponder in the vastness of wonder that is being portrayed here. "static, infinity, trinity, breeze, existence rides (good one), oblivions charger" . . . . regards

James, A very interesting piece. References to Schroedinger's cat, then, from infinity so small a matter, hmmm you cover some big theories. wind mills churn the waves where existence rides.... this sums it up to me... all your references from Schroedinger's cat to infinity to dimensions, it's all about existence and what it means. And what does it mean if the mere observation of existence changes its behavior? but looking ever inward is all we can do Enjoyed reading a poem with so may grandiose references. Thanks for sharing, Cheryl
