In-Sanity

Learn –
My friend,
To paint outside
The frame.

For the frame –
Can be changed,
While the picture
Stays the same.

I like it. A bit short, but I had to read it quite often.
Honestly I'm not sure if I understand the message correctly,
because for me the both parts are a bit contradictory.

A short answer:

Should we learn to paint outside the frame,
or should we adapt the frame to the paint?
But so you say the picture stays the same,
then don't let the frame making you insane.

This made me ponder quite a lot(or maybe I'm just like that).
In other words we can project different aspects of ourselves but our core stays true to itself till' the very end.

It's either referred to ourselves(as wholes) or generally entities that shape-shift in order to suit their current needs.
It might be that or something's wrong with me.

 

[Celaquil]

Or it might be both

I never posted this very short, nearly too short, poem to make it a contest
for you guys to be first to "solve" it, a poem doesn't get "solved", it gets
interpreted. I'm not going to tell you what my message was, that is for you
to decide. What I can say, however, is that this poem was, believe it or not,
written in under 10 seconds, while in the state of heavy intoxication.

Inspiration just... Hit me that evening.

Quite good

I must say it's quite confusing to figure, as IcemanBo stated, it's a bit contradicting.

I assume that this poem of yours :

Learn –
My friend,
To paint outside
The frame.

For the frame –
Can be changed,
While the picture
Stays the same.

Refers to the fact that we have to improve ourselves, but we must remember that whatever we do, our core/origin remains the same, no matter what. In humans case, we must improve our knowledge and abilities, while remembers that we are humans, which has limitations.

There is something wrong with this I feel. I mean, it should be that the frame cannot be changed while the picture can actually be changed. Thinking about it, the frame is just a rectangular thing that remains unvaried from drawing to drawing while the picture can change according to what you want to draw. If changing the frame would mean "going outside the borders" and dare to risk then it would probably make sense but the part that the picture doesn't change feels... erroneous.

There is not.

Neither grammatically, conceptually or implicitly.
It's a strange thing, looking at a poem logically.

Completely understandable, I reckon this poem is probably the most abstract
poem I have written so far. You won't find it's "secrets" by merely scratching
the surface. Haven't any of you given the title any thoughts?
- Food for thought!

Oh my...
Thank you for giving me a headache.
Now I will surely have a rough sleep with all those thoughts :d

But I didn't say there is a mistake grammatically, conceptually or implicitly. Something sounds wrong in this in my opinion, that's all.

The title itself misled me because I cannot really find a relation between the poem and the title. I guess I'll to sit on a chair and cogitate like a philosopher about this.

There is something about this...that just 'hits' me.
