Wrong Turn
By mishmish
07 June 2006
We have all felt it, days that are so great you never want them to end, and suddenly a new day pops up and there is no continuity, it literally seems like you've fallen into a different universe. This poem was inspired by one of those days.

In quantum physics there are various theories about multi-verses, and having read quite a lot about them, genuinely feel that there could be something in the notion that we really do live from one day to another in different worlds that, we somehow attach to at the quantum level.

Something to think about...Sorry if it's a bit heavy, I'm having that kind of week!


I’m high, so happy
I feel I’m flying
The day,
It was just great

Didn’t want to go to bed

Sleep, drifting
Darkness, descending

I’m falling through…

Snatching hold
Dawn breaking

A different world
What happened…

Wrong words, wrong glances
Even my weight’s up

Got to get back
To the place I was before

Positive thought
Positive action
My only route back
By way of attraction.

Set Leo off-See Non-Fiction 
 
It's getting very high-brow round here. 
 
I sometimes dread a really good day cos its Ying seems to have a corresponding antithetical Yang! I can almost feel Nemesis on its way. 
 
Personal point I feel that Blank Verse should be consistent and lack all rhyme.(It's the result of attending 5 different Writers' Groups and having been brain washed by them.) 
 
"Positive action 
My only route back 
By way of attraction." 
 
However when things go wrong why can't you guarantee that something good will happen?

I undetstood , what you meant. Very good. I had to read it about two times but I understood it better the second time. I could imagine your days like that. Nice. really.
Didn't mean to!

Sorry I started it...Leo I'll check it out! 
 
Thanks all of you for your comments...They are really are gratefully received... 
 
To give you a bit of background, I started doing research for my book 'Consequences...(chap 4 up on Extended - plug!) on quantum physics as I needed it for a piece of technology that comes up in the book. And basically got hooked.. 
 
Quantum physics is something I really like reading about, especially string theory, branes and multi-verses. I hold Brian Greene, Leonard Susskind and Hertog and Hawkings the equivalent of pop idols. I know what that makes me...sorry!  
 
As I said, this was a written to round off a crazy few days. It just seemed right. 
 
And I really do believe what I wrote... 
 
best wishes

I loved the last stanza. Was a bit thrown by the structure of the rest of the poem. I understood it but perhaps on a much simpler level than you intended as I know nothing abput quantum physics!!!
