random thought lines on a page

another poetry scramble on one page.

breakfast bits

would you forgive me,
if I had you for breakfast
instead?
bagels have become
a little boring
as of late.

--------------------------
I once knew a man I thought it was a man at least and then it turned out to be a piggly beast.
--------------------------

filling my pen

random lines dance upon the page
filling my pen with liquid rage,
I can't, I won't, and never again ...

     ---------------------------------
if you think there is such a thing as love at first sight you need glasses.
     -----------------------------------

------
bitter is better

bitter is better
when it comes
to chocolate
or coffee,
poetry,
or me.
-----

If you think I am faking,
try wearing my skin.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
need is a pale substitute for love.

it is a poor woman
who needs a man
to enrich her life --

and a poor man,
who takes that woman,
as his wife.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author's Note

The song is just because I like it, and because it is kind of random, and manic,
like this collection of thoughts.

I always enjoy reading your random thoughts! Your mind is something I would love to dive into! Clever writes, though "Bitter is Better" is my favorite. xo :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, thank you, I appreciate that.

[Coyote Poetry]

Interesting words. I don't know. The comfort of someone near is enough sometimes. We may accept less and I believe we did. Love can be hidden and near. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

It is interesting that you should pick that out of there. There was a time I settled because I thought it was safe. I never will again.

[Matching Socks]

Bitter is better....
:-)
You do bitter very well I'll give you that but I think I just read a poem of yours that was happy(ish).
I love your little random scribbles, they are a blast.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. I do enjoy these as well. I used to write them on my dorm room white board every day and erase them ...

[Matching Socks]

They're a blast, I know I'm in for a treat when I see one.

[Delmar Cooper]

I had a random... I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

[Lyn Anderson]

ha ha ha I dig you Delmar, I hope I get to meet the man behind the tree one day.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

like them all but especially "bitter is better" and "breakfast bits"

great sarcasm...

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. I appreciate the read and review.

I had never thought of collecting all my random thoughts
and posting them as random thoughts.

Maybe if I did I could do a better job of remembering
Those things that bounce in and out of my weary brain.

Enjoyed yours

I have always done it this way. Usually tho, I break them up into separate parts, but every once in a while post them like this. It is the best way to keep them intact as they are thought, I find.

[Frieda P]

I'm stuffed now, especially like that last one, profound...love liquid rage too.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. I enjoyed this one. It poured out of me. Now I REALLY need to get my butt in gear and do some real life things.

[Frieda P]

You mean there's something realer than poetry?..........

[Rene Salinas]

There is a stream of people that have the tendency to deal with life using ideas rather then the expression of the event themselves and in here it is as if you opened up that side of you to share. The risk here for me would be poking as at least for me as the symbols and concepts expressed here are better left as they are trying not to impress any character of judgment upon them

A beautiful abstraction though

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

In the old days, I always wrote like this, and then broke the poems up later into separate entities. I wrote one like this down on the cafe', and the style sort of stuck, and I periodically do them like this. Thank you.

An entertaining smorgasbord of poetry and sayings. They leave questions and flavours and spaces to be filled.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for eating my smorgasbord. Notice the breakfast bits are first?:)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I know but I passed and had the coffee!
