neurosis of ideas devoid of impulse

3WW: the given words
hauntingly impulse linger

neurosis of ideas
devoid of impulse
likened to a
shadowy apparition
nibbling routinely
in the dark corner

it set in motion
ruefully but surely 
ripples that ruptured
their sense of thoughts

rigorously rollicking
as a consequence
hauntingly obnoxious
to the flock
of migrating birds

tremors of fissures
in the ground
turbulent in nature
surpassed only by
their nuisance value

nebulous thoughts
but pristine in memory
linger on
paltry to measures
contending
to assist but ended up
to be an outright 
spoiler!

Note: Pablo Neruda has that uncanny 
style of short lines that accompanies a 
catchy flow very much like Jae Rose's

Apologies to Kanzen Sakura
Hank regretfully is not able to comment in 
your blog without going through Blogger.

  6. Nick Nebulous would be a great Noir detective character; nice feel & cover for a Neruda cover; imaginative take on the dVerse prompt, as well as multi-tasking for other prompts; cool. I like the lines /hauntingly obnoxious/to the flock/of migrating birds/.

  7. I do enjoy when someone can combine a multitude of prompts and not only be efficient, but do a great job! thank you for taking up my prompt. Neruda seems to be a popular inspiration and with good reason, I think. I'm sorry you can't comment. I had that initial problem commenting on this blogging platform. I got a google account which is used to be able to go across the different blogs. I use it simply for that. Thank you for wanting to comment! Hayes Spencer is Kanzensakura aka Toni

  9. Neruda seems to be a favourite... understandably so...
    A lot of alliteration and a tense, threatening depiction there, like a stormy sky...

  10. Nice Hank. I love Neruda too. It's true that your short lines are like Jae Rose. I like her writing so much. And yours too.

  11. Hank, this is so uncanny. I thought of Jae when I read the "nibbling in a dark corner" line! You captured essential elements of TWO of my favorite poets here. Wish I could have met Neruda, whose poetry was so intense, so earthy and musical. Aren't we lucky to know Jae Rose? And I know I'm lucky to know you are well.

    About your apology - you know I'm on Wordpress, but that platform and Blogger don't always get along. Will email you an idea about how to make that all work! Love, Amelita

  12. Truly fascinating.. to consider neurosis vs impulse of action.. as neurosis never stops thinking.. and impulse never stops doing.. i think i'll just do it.. like Nike says.. impulsively with
    balance
    and leave the thinking
    to neurosis.. while i feel
    the balance of impulsive
    bliss..:)

  19. Well thank you for the mention Hank (and Amy) but I can't profess to be able to write a poem as sophisticated as this one!

  20. Bravo! combining three prompts and flowing so beautifully...wow, I love Neruda and short lines seem to give more strength in your stanzas; enjoyed reading this poem very much.
