half past insanity...

...just a bit of satire, perhaps. ;-)

Half past insanity and quarter to absurd

no velvet petal's verses to behold

babbling brooks chanting in rhyme

'perhaps it's time to hang up the wind-chimes'

snow falling upward to a new moon phase

weeds scattered conjugating germination

wanderings in my mind won't be set free

bloody ink purged brash senseless jazz

breathing in the illogicality of farces's hold

took a walk on the wild side of folly

madness doesn't seem all that bad

when the teardrops in your coffee

are singing the blues to a cuppa tea

perhaps a contemplative walk in the park

will spark the beauteous pen to unleash

something half past lunacy's bat s**t crazy

lost the plot somewhere 'tween here and there

for now the idiocy looms on the horizon

screaming be content with what you see

tomorrow's derangement could be worse indeed

This poem reminds me of when I seem to be lost as to where my own story is going and I just start writing all kinds of nonsense. When I stop and read what I have wrote I truly believe my mind has left my body and I am left with pieces no sane person believes herself to have. Strangely it helps unlock my mind. Love this piece and will put it the library so I can jump to it when I feel this way. No one likes to be alone in insanity.

Laughing here, so true...we're all a little bit daft as poets I think, thanks Amanda.

[Coyote Poetry]

My kind of poetry. I like the ending a lot. Sometime we have no place to go except some sort of insanity. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

[Rachelle]

There's a narrow line bordering genius and insanity......

[Frieda P]

I concur, thanks sweetbind...............

Ha, so let me get this straight... the nutter is writing about insanity? ;-P I like it. I loved the imagery and wording in this one... In some crazy way it made me smile, it's so... you! ;-))

Ha, I think you're my sister from anotha mista, lmao! This was brill!

[Frieda P]

Haha thanks, there's plenty of us nutters here it seems. I stopped by your page to read you but there was nothing there.

[Kimmie]

I'm new here, will be uploading soon. Just read a couple by this 16 year old and she nearly blew me away. A lot of them are so wise beyond their tender years.

[Frieda P]

You must mean our noodlehead, yep, she's talented. Welcome to the cafe.

[Kimmie]

And a few others, smart kiddiwinkles. Thank you.

Jack as is almost always the case, is right. Funnily enough KLG has posted something on this subject which exposes the ineptness of the system. iWork in that system and see it as dead on its feet.

[Frieda P]

Hopefully I'm not that bad to be committed yet John, ha....thanks!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Na you are one mad cow!

[Frieda P]

Ha you're so kind my friend! I thought I was a cheeky monkey...........

Well, this is my first attempt at a review in a month Mrs.R, and I often struggle on my best day to find the superlatives that describe how awestruck you leave me with every poem you write. This piece reminded me of a line from Radiohead: January has April showers, and two and two always make five. I'm hard-pressed to think of any other writer that constantly challenges my imagination like you do. I've read this multiple times, and with every successive read, I've changed my mind on what my favourite lines are. You're a treasure to this site my dear friend, as are your words :) xo

[Frieda P]

Be still my heart, you made it back in...yay! So good to see you back Benji, you know I always look forward to your awesome reviews...Radiohead would have been a great choice for this one too, you made my day sweetie! :-) x

[kublakhan27]

You humble me my sweet :) I'm so glad to know that I can do that. You've made many a day for me as well :) x

[J.L Hunter]

I really enjoyed the clarity in this piece. Not much wrong, and even bests most of my own work. Congratulations on impressing me.

[Frieda P]

Why thank you for your praise J.L. Much appreciate the visit and review.
