Madness is lip-synching
to an unwritten song;
Stupidity is the other
trying to sing along.
Crazy is dancing
to a completely different tune;
Delirious is wondering
what happened to the moon.
Idleness is slouching
paying nothing any mind.
Boredom is pacing up and down
whining about the daily grind;
Lust is playing hard to get
while flirting ceaselessly
and at the end, there you are,
Patience, waiting for me.

"Crazy is dancing

Delirious is wondering

This has to be my favourite stanza in this very cleverly written poem. Like it, a lot.

Would have to agree with Tina, this is very indeed well and cleverly written, I would have to disagree with Tina and say the first stanza is definitely my favourite.

OK then, so that's my favourite as well;-)

Such wonderful personification, Dynamaso! My favourite stanza:
'Idleness is slouching
paying nothing any mind.
Boredom is pacing up and down
whining about the daily grind;'
Brilliant ending too. Well done on a well-deserved cherry ;)

Thank you for your kind comment, Tina. This is another old one I revamped and tidied up. I am happy with the result and pleased you like it too.
Kheldar, thank you also for your comment. I'm glad it appealed to you enough for you to pick a favourite stanza.
I suppose if I had to pick, my favourite stanza is the last one.
Magic, thanks to you as well. It really is how my mind feels some days - all over the place. But I wouldn't change it for anything.
Thanks to the cherry-giver too. What a lovely Saturday morning surprise.

SundaysChild, thanks very much for your sweet comment. I've been a little inactive of late but hope to pick up the pace again.
