day dreaming delay
mind caught in an endless loop
where thoughts are stolen
by fluctuating follies
echoing atrocities
This (thinly veiled comment on my mind’s status today) contribution to Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenge (synonyms only-dreaming and thought subbed in for fancy and idea) was helped along by Putting My Feet in the Dirt’s wonderful phrase prompt: fluctuating follies.
Visit them both!

So easy to get into a loop of bad thoughts. Poem’s so true, especially right now!

Fluctuating follies is a lovely alliterative line Tina. Sometimes it helps to stay busy and creative, then we don’t give ourselves any time to be caught up in the endless day dreaming loop that could potentially lead to disaster. Very thought provoking and a stimulating image too to boot!
