"Nuts!"

I don't think there is a description....

I’m not a poet, but I think in dyslexic metaphor

Artist, Musician, Scribe…wasted youth run amok

winter reclusion bears cherry blossom buds

it is what it is, until it isn’t

Waistrel minstrel…

My kingdom for a cheese and onion sammich

and so it goes, 

only the names have been changed

but you can guess who the players are, they sign autographs

Pearls before swine

The secret of the universe? 

Chuck Eye Steaks. 

And everyone is fighting over cake

ya can’t kid a kidder

then again, 

“nuts!” 

Author's Note

Yeah, I spelled sandwich- sammich... that's the way I say it, that's the way I spell it... besides, its literary license in poetry, right? aw nuts anyway.
Well, aside from my short stories, if this doesn't get me banned from WC... nuttin' will... critiques and comments welcome.

Love the dyslexic metaphor...and that sammich sounds really good.
and I kind of like Chuck eye steaks...but I also feel nuts right now...
and this poem's nature matches mine. And you better not be banned from WC...
we are all nuts...so we all belong...

Everyone I know eats sammiches round these boondocks. This poem makes me very jealous. This feels like a carefree spill given little thought, but it's crammed with clever jewels that make us laugh & think. That's the crux of your personality, as I've come to perceive it. Your writing makes us feel good while also prodding us to think about some humanistic angle you may be presenting. Never a big statement, never leading your audience to hold any certain viewpoint(s), but just making people think about what they're doing & how they're doing it. I love how you use cliches in such startling & unexpected ways, you catapult these old phrases a mile away from cliche (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Wow, and holy crap!!! You’ve been studying me way too close... but you are absolutely right. I don’t think since the advent of Logos, that humankind can escape cliche, and “so it goes.” And yes M, there’s a lot of my personality in my writing and art and music, etc... but I don’t present the deep dark stuff, that’s sometimes present also and also stokes some creativity, mostly in motivation. Another saying/cliche: “If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.” And so it is. I want to tell you, this is probably the most insightful comment I’ve ever received here or anywhere my writing appears. Can’t thank you adequately for your perception and ‘getting it’ about my writing. Just plain from the heart, thank you.

My pleasure. I really enjoy reading you.

this is good for not being a poet but is this humor all together or a riddle with a hidden agenda because every line gives me a different understanding of what I'm reading but the line that made fall from my seat was "chuck eye steaks" made me think of Chuckie cheese pizza, hell after a day with wild kids and frantic parents, i want a steak after work too and maybe a beer to along a hectic day.

There's a place for writers who spout nonsense like this poem. Glad you found it.
