More Bewildered Than Ever
“The more you explain it, the more I don’t understand it.” ~Mark Twain
You really tend to obfuscate
and also circumnavigate
whatever points you try to
make.
I’m so confused, for heaven’s
sake.
Just tell it to me plain, I beg.
You disregard. Instead, you segue
into more purple tosh.
Headshake.
I’m mystified, for heaven’s
sake.
I wonder if you truly know
of what you speak, but even
so
the way you say it? Too opaque.
I’m so perplexed, for heaven’s
sake.
I guess it doesn’t matter if
you speak in English or in glyph,
I will not understand your
take.
I just give up, for heaven’s
sake.

Notes: The form is Kyrielle (with a tiny bit of modification.) The poem was inspired by the theme of 'more' at Khara House's 30 by 30 Challenge.
And.. if you are looking for a really fun form, check out Poetic Bloomings' In-form Poet page. Today's form is the 'Appreciate.'
Oh, RJ! This is you at your fantastical wordplay, master of form best. Wonderful.
