Welcome to Neopoet I shall put my pipe down and try to focus, ah! So you are blind to your own self,
Teach you we must!
I don't think I need Heroin to see my inner self, the Buddhist teaching doesn't need it, Satori comes from the Japanese for seeing into ones true nature, I find that all I have to do is sit quietly and look inward (Smiling)
Neat write and you would be good at Haiku's have a go at some of Barbara Writes workshops or on going Poetry.
Take care Yours Ian.

Hi Guy

Welcome to Neopoet. I'm a tea drinker so I can relate to it more than the rest. Keep on writing.

Short but I get it

In this brief poem you've chosen words that manage to convey what your 'satori' be. And if it be found with the aid of heroin, etc... then who am i to judge? We all have or own form of 'satori.' Having said that, I enjoyed the read. I like short and 'sweet' and it actually reminds me of something I wrote a while back that I may share with you at some point!
