Summary

The website content features a poetic reflection titled "Platters Of Mind," inspired by the prompt "Noodles," which explores the concept of mental indulgence and the joy of writing, while also acknowledging the contributions of other poets and inviting further participation in "The Never-Ending Poem" challenge.

Abstract

"Platters Of Mind" is a creative piece that delves into the richness of the author's inner world, likening their thoughts to a feast. The poem emphasizes the shift from wrestling with intangible fears to constructing a metaphorical castle of dreams, where the mind's banquet awaits. The author expresses a sapiosexual attraction to the intellectual and poetic, and gratitude towards Lucy (the egg girl) for the inspiring prompt. The content also pays homage to another poet's work on the theme of escape from an abusive mother, and it introduces the next writing prompt, "Simplicity," inviting others to contribute to an ongoing poetic collaboration known as "The Never-Ending Poem." This initiative encourages creative expression and community engagement among writers and poets.

No more rumbling in my dreams instead, I’ll build a castle gotta stop wrestling with invisible things for in my castle is my dynasty

There… there is majesty

Rolled out carpets jewels and crowns with all the food I’d like to eat

Like platters of mind I indulge on for weeks or years, I cannot count

Mind platter for days on end served to me like noodles in soup for my soul

Sapiosexual, I am
