I scream for answers
In this world of cancers
The ticking of the clock never ceases
Like my hamster dropping endless feces
It is all so confusing
I quietly keep musing
I can’t mouth words to explain how I feel
Have I been given a bad deal?
She wants to help me
My sister says to me
Attending silent meditation could be my new identity
Leading to greater personal serenity

Like my hamster dropping endless feces
The ticking of the clock never ceases

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.

Like my hamster….. now that is a great line. Well done on the inverse not sure which way I prefer. I’ll have to read again.
It feels like a circular fate, leading back and forth with each other. Nice work Scott!
😊👏 Nice work scott at the inverse! I like the first and “last line” rhyme: cancer/answers.
Wow this was really cool

"Like my hamster dropping endless feces" 😭😂😂 Love your abstract poem, Paul ! 💓
Nice entry, Scott! I loved how you in included the reverse right after the forward. Meditation is therapeutic indeed.
