Exploring Abstract

I wander Ahead.
Close eyes
The perk of the sky
Falls short

I circle Around.
Feel fine
My head spins c-b-a
Slender high

Head over Sky.
Feet cold
Water ceases flowing

And the motion of the mountains freezes.

    Sorry, not quite 200 words.
    The abstract idea behind them poem was "Exploring", and the role was "A Poet".

  2. Well, 200 was the max., not the required minimum, so that is fine. The poem is pretty obscure - perhaps because its theme is an abstract. I don't get the c-b-a thing...?

  3. Yes, it is not only the theme that is abstract in the poem.

    The c-b-a thing; I wanted to have a rhythm going, and needed a word to end the "My head spins" sentence. I could not find one, so instead, I inserted something else. When thinking about spinning, A-B-C came to my mind somehow. So I reversed that, so now the words spins backwards.
