Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
I really enjoyed how all these rumbling and some unconnected thoughts flowed so easily, and how my mind momentarily stopped here and there to relish the fleeting thought. Very well done!

Here and There and Everywhere
Hello my friend
Great entry for the Acrostic Poem writing prompt contest.
I like this stanza a lot...
....And what about those dust bunnies
Nifty nests of nothingness,
Do you believe they're aliens
Tripping with their stubbornness?.... I love it.
Well done my friend.

Good see you enjoyed and didn't point out that certain things didn't really make sense or that certain words didn't fit with the imagery or .... well, you get the idea. Sigh. Thank you, Gypsy - your review is very welcome and appreciated!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Acrostic poem about the bits and pieces that happens during a day where family lives and make their house a home. That's the things that make our lives worthwhile.

Well done acrostic contest entry. The picture is the perfect accompaniment to the poem. I loved your comment in the notes not to try to make sense of this entry. It was fun to read!

This certainly lives up to its subtitle: "A compendium of thoughtful musings and meanderings..."! It's a bit like a stream-of-consciousness dream sequence. Your last sentence says it all: "Eerie morsels from my mind's abyss..." Bizarre, but entertaining!

You followed the criteria well. It is a bit all over the place with various inconsequential words, but it is what you were going for, so it fit the theme.

A mix of thoughts here and I'm not sure where this poem takes us, but your filing cabinet of thoughts could perhaps do with an alphabetical organising, he he he, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Comment from Melissa Russell Deur
Well, that's a trip! Your "Peter Max-ish" art selection is appropriate. Your choice of green for the text reminded me of Leonard Cohen's "I lit a thin green candle," so your idea of musings and meanderings is working on me.
What got me to stop and start to analyze (and wreck my trip) was the build-up of images like "eraser filings" and "dust bunnies" and "nifty nests of nothingness" leading up to "aliens trying out their ruggedness." Suddenly all these weightless things compared to ruggedness didn't quite jive.
I was intrigued when you later mentioned the eraser filings and suggested your father had stolen the pencils.
Your connection with vanilla scents and bakery goods and cherry tarts reminds me of Marcel Proust's madeleine. Perhaps, in this poem, you are having a "madeliene moment"--evoking recollections of things past.
My answer to your question "Have you followed all of this?" is YES!
Maybe you'd agree?

Well your rhythmic ramblings and eerie morsels make for an entertaining (and colorful) acrostic poem - a little hard to follow in places, but lots of fun. I have to say though, I would call them shavings rather than filings...

Dear Author, you certainly accomplished your goal! This post is indeed a compendium of miscellaneous notions.
The rhymes are appreciated, even though they make no more sense than the lines of text.
you asked if I was able to follow you? I guess I did, I arrived at the end with some cherry tarts in my hands.
