Tramp-led Dreams

Hi La-shout - first, an afterthought...clever title, a dash of ambiguity.

I found this very entertaining, smiles and murmured approbation as I reeled between associations and tropes [thanks Ryan]. By the end I was overwhelmed, a feeling that reminded me of aftermath in having overdone the self-medication I was left with an impression of self-indulgence, and a need to faithfully record every detailed breath of creativity that inspired this poem, as if you felt the reader would have experienced deprivation with anything less than a complete account of your imagination, reflected in the flood of delivery. That may not be an accurate assessment, but it does reflect my own tendencies (which I'm trying, with limited success, to inhibit) and which I think I recognise here.

I feel distictly unqualified to comment on the poetic aspects of this piece, because I've yet to learn how to practice what I'm tempted to preach about that stuff - and I hope someone who is, does.

And I'll be very happy if I've got this completely wrong, because I did enjoy the rollercoaster ride through your mind - there are so many individual lines and phrases that appealed to me - I'm just not convinced that, as a whole, it constitutes 'good' poetry, particularly having read the poetry, discussion threads and articles, with related comments, of others on this site. Perhaps that's not a big thing; I guess it depends on the reasons for writing and posting? Does the "La-shout" pseudonym have implications that make these words completely superfluous - that's usually the case with me
I don't mean to be mean - that's not my intention, but if I come across as such I won't be surprised, because I'm neither confident nor well-versed in applying the art of 'constructive criticism'
