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.

this is very Kerouac, like reminds me of his latter verse..I love the tongue twisters and the rattle stream of conciseness depicting this clocked insanity, bats definitely are screeching in the belfry...Gothic artsy-texture...great piece

[Frieda P]

I really like the way you've put this together, it really has great flow I the way You used time and emotion.
Well done, friend.

[Frieda P]

[Bri]

Hey, in our darkest hour, our imagination is released, bringing us comfort with its unfathomable creativity.

[Frieda P]

True Bri, the darker ones always come from a deeper place.....love that word 'unfathomable'.

[Bri]

me too, its fun to use lol

[Frieda P]

unfathomabley so...ha

[Lyn Anderson]

This is a wonderful verse. It is beautiful, thoughtful, and real.

[Frieda P]

Ha glad you enjoyed my lunacy, very real some days....

[Dhaye]

This is humorous. The music fits well with your verse.
Sometimes things going absurd but you can't resist them to happen....because sometimes being quirky is somewhat exciting. LOL

Nice tripping here!

[Frieda P]

Glad you got a kick out of my absurdity Dhaye, this is actually what happens when you're stuck in a snowstorm and your power go out LOL ;-)

[Dhaye]

[Tam Warink]

You may think me insincere or trite or whatever... but, I really like this Frieda. Maybe it's reading it while listening to that Stones tune or something... I don't know - but whatever it is it works well; both apart and together. Every line could stand on it's own. Hey, maybe that's what I'm seeing.. every line somewhere in a dim underground bunker where the music reverberates off the sloping arches, designed to absorb the explosions from above... and there are your lines each dancing to their own incarnation but somehow a coherent chaos of epic lip-licking, tongue thrusting, eyes closed, mind open... vibrations.

100 dancing lines

[Frieda P]

Not in the least trite, I'm high on your words at the moment, and dancing on air....means a lot, thanks so much Tam!

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

[TL Boehm]
