But, A Posey

Sometimes a poem is just a poem

a pen is maybe just, a pen

words strung together to impress

sometimes a poem is eternity

or that blue butterfly by request 

more often of life, perhaps death

the universe's forgiveness or less

perky pretty ponies play pool

sinfully sad sinister street sloths

it's all stuck in the mind's soul

a pearl of wisdom, a grand idea

it's the walk of shame or exhilaration

reminisce past, present, future lovers 

a broken ragdoll, make her breathe

take the rainbow over the moon 

plunge the soul into despairs of Hades

eat, drink, be merry and multiply

cherish the memories of bygones

exalt the superpowers of love and Gods

inhale the beauty of nature's call

exhale the mysteries that taint 

kisses a thousand miles deep sink ships

tears overflow into a parallel dimension

dance on a cliff with sheer abandon

saunter gingerly into the next pub

handle babies with kid gloves

sing a gentle pink pearly lullaby 

aptly scream the injustices of lies

makes no sense or make it work

go big, go home, die a million deaths

it's soft voices, big sticks and guns

tread lightly, go full throttle ahead

pick a posie fill it with joie de vivre

flecks of silver and gold threads composed

in the end it's all identical altered thoughts

coming together in one grand finale

...the celebration of one's life poetry

This poem is like flipping through an old photo album..... when they weren't digital!! lol About half of your poem stunned me in short little staccato jabs. I stopped by my mom's house, just a half hour ago, and she gave me pictures of me when I was young. Knowing everything I saw, felt, and did when I was little made it tough at first to see the pictures. I don't remember "me", but I remember the anger, the darkness that was all-to-consuming, and the feeling I was always being watched due to the night terrors!! Your poem has a unique way of reminding me of how surrealistic my youth was in my head, and how others may have viewed me. The last line sums up what we all have in common.... the present. Everything else is a memory. I'm glad you wrote this and was able to, first: see your page, and second: enjoy more of you... after writing you last, this morning before work!! xoxo -Mark

Wow, I had no idea I did all of that to you, should I apologize or say thanks? I'm not sure! ;-) xo

[Patrick Henry]

The day you find the need to apologize, might be the day that me being on your friend list means very little. THAT doesn't feel so..... xoxo -Mark

Nice flow of thoughts in the poem. You open the door to many topics in the poem. Poetry is support to open the mind to thoughts and reasons. You did. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Poetry is art and like any art poetry can be what ever you want because the imagination has no limits... poetry can be straight forward or metaphoric... we are full of many different emotions so why shouldn't our poetry. Great one Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Yep, that's what it's about. Thanks Dale.
