drank the poetic kool-aid

_random silly scribble_

Drank from the poetic kool-aid well

   punch drunk crazy on 100 proof metaphors

cheesy cracker sonnets & olive stuffed similes

   jumped over a moon's haiku, hungover of verbiage

strange clouds bump and grind pouring fireflies

   bathed in coffee's senryuous brevity

      dirty birds yakking in your head,

  jealous guy lost control in burnt out tunes,

muse madness in words addictive rhythms

  like jackrabbits getting it on big time,

rocking socks off dancin' on chandeliers,

   sign'd on the dott'd line for apostrophe's rhym'd rehab

 there ain't no cure for what ails the obsess'd poet

[Blake Fodor]

[Frieda P]

I'm not sure there's beauty in this one, but thanks muchly...

I needed something that would cheer me up today (due to the date as you know) and the first place I came was here. Your poetry honestly is my little safe haven. On saying that, I did crack a smile and I think I made a sound that would resemble a giggle... :) I couldn't even pick out a favourite line because it was all hilarious and oh so very funny.

Flip flops & all that sparkly jazz...xo

[Frieda P]

Hmmm, yes all too well, coming up for me domani...jazz'd it put a smile on that luverly face of yours sweet noodlebumble, grazie mile. :) xo

[s y e]

I know, what we like? You know I'll be here for you anyway. Thanks for letting me have my little safe haven. x

This poem is amusing gravitas. Poets have a moderating influence on World Affairs since poets are not afraid to break all those stifling taboos established by the uncompromising assumptions of arrogant egomaniacs. No concept is a perfect concept, but when one is taken too seriously, then it always becomes a cause of bad side effects, and collateral damage. Each ant is only aware of one part of the Elephant-of-Reality.. The poetic ant never assumes that his or anyone else’s perceived part of reality represents the whole. Poets use creative metaphors in their attempt to connect all the fragmentary dots of the pieces of reality that they are aware of into gestalts that may or may not evoke an image of the entire elephant.

[Frieda P]

Glad you were amused by my random scribbles Aethereal, I knew I should have included elephants. :) Thanks muchly...

[Aethereal]

You're welcome! It’s next to impossible for poetic ants to stuff an entire elephant into crackerjack box metaphors but they try.

[Frieda P]

Ha indeed we do...and will continue to do so till the end of time I'm sure....

[Matching Socks]

Hahaha! This made me laugh, those dirty birds yakking and Jack rabbits getting it on big time.
Twisted. :-) xx

[Frieda P]

Ahh good, that was my twisted intention. :) xo

[Matching Socks]

You're beautiful, and twisted. That makes for one fun Chiquita.

[Matching Socks]

You're beautiful, and twisted. That makes for one fun Chiquita.

[Frieda P]

Awh you're sweet, beautiful and twisted, must be why we get along so well. :)

[Matching Socks]

Yeah, probably. ;)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Wow a sense of weary cynicism pervades in the exact metaphors with high alcohol content you cite, moonshine metaphors my Lady, moonshine!

[Frieda P]

Ha 'moonshine metaphors', why didn't I think of that?! Thanks John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Moonshine, my Lady, is beneath you!................................................

[Frieda P]

Ha I don't think so John, I can get down and dirty with the best of 'em. lol

[Lyn Anderson]

This is a clever spot of mad scribbling, I must say. I read it earlier but was stuck in cafe' glitch land.

[Frieda P]

The gremlins are running rampant on the cafe tonight it seems, thank KL.

[kublakhan27]

Well, as usual, you lead me astray with the 'random scribble' tag...it's still absolute genius, no matter how tongue-in-cheek you think it is...and to reel it off as quick as you can, and fit in as many references to as many people as you did...it's really amazing you know...have you ever seen me do something like this? And if I did, it wouldn't come in a night...you'll never believe me I guess, cuz you just say that I gush over all of your stuff cuz it's you, but 'you' deserve to be gushed over! Anyways, you'll be happy to know that I enjoyed the imagery very much, and I found myself smiling a lot as I read it...as you know, my library doesn't work, so I can't shelve it, but you know it'll be in my bookmarks and will go to my 'real' folder soon...and just to prove that I didn't forget: 100 100-proof metaphors ;) xo

[Frieda P]

Oh stop Norm, you're such a sillyhead...ha ha I'm jazz'd you enjoyed my dizzy dive into madness, Mrs R is amused MWAH! ;) Can you get drunk on 100 proof metaphors I wonder...cheers! ;) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha At this point, I'll get drunk on vitamin C if someone gave me some ;) MWAH! xo

[Cory Barrett]

Seems mr kool pouring through my veins these day... OH YAY!

[Frieda P]

This is what happens when you drink and drive poetry.....

[Frieda P]

CHEERS btw!
