I agree. 🙂 The poet definitely needs to keep that door to madness open. The hour of thought can come any time, just like a mad rush that makes it into a complete poem, the soul reflecting on it. Beautiful. Love the picture too!
A pebble always poised the break the surface, our courage indeed lies in our willingness to face it and then pen it all – the joy and yes, the madness. You’ve captured this so well. Excellent write and photograph.
This shall go in my Favorites by Sanaa List. There is such depth in these short lines. I can see all the way into the speaker’s soul… and I’m intrigued by what lies within.
Oh this is so true…I think there are uncharted territories in our mind, glimpses of madness that lend to some profound and beautiful poetry. Love this, Sanaa.
I think this is the best you have written. Stripped of pretense and lush imagery, it speaks truth loudly and powerfully. Excellent. Madness – most important to us.

Oh yes, we do need that little door open, we need to thread on roads not walked, but we need to be able to walk back as well.

Keeping ajar the door that leads to madness sounds a bit frightening, but perhaps there is that aspect in really good poetry.
We must strive to take that chance 😉 thanks for stopping by Bryan.

Most definitely ❤ thank you Laura 🙂

Wonderful, Sanaa! I like the way you used the prompt word as ‘ajar’. Poets and madness…could be a spark of genius there, also! 🙂
Thank you so much Barbara 😀 so glad you liked it.
The door should always be kept open – for that is where the magic resides even if there are moments of madness trying to express ones thoughts.
Definitely 🙂 I am so glad you agree ❤
Haunting poetically and wise words in a surreal welcome madness onto your horizons way – love the idea of the use words almost like mist .
