Mild Musings May Mitigate My Mentality Joseph Campling

Somehow and from somewhere, the words arrived in the poet's head, jostling around looking for space to be understood; to be shared. Multiple descriptions from the influence of people, places, ordinary and extraordinary events bounce around and snag themselves into the grey matter. They free themselves again and then noisily charge around in the cerebral spaces causing electrical impulses to guide the pen or in these more modern times a keyboard to express themselves upon the page. The poet's thoughts then explode from the vision inscribed upon the folio and into the eyes of the reader causing further synapses to generate imagination and wonder. The critics thoughts then repeat the experience causing further imaginations and pictures and so on. Mild Musings May Mitigate My Mentality is not a self help book or designed to save your life. It is a view of the world based on the poet's observations through life and more recently. It is about finding humour in serious situations and seriousness in humour through the medium of poetry.
