In the Attic

Check out my book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems on Amazon.com Thomas W. Case poetry reading February 13, 2024 (youtube.com)

On days that
I have a
difficult time
writing, I let
my mind wander
to another
place and scene.

Today
I imagine a
musty attic.
It smells like
mothballs and
old perfume.

I stumble upon
an old trunk.
And when I look
inside
I find hundreds
of my poems that
I wrote and
forgot about.
I thumb through
the brittle pages,
and read.

"Hey, not bad.
This one is pretty
good.
Hey, here's one with
multiple layers.
Writing as a
metaphor for
orgasm."

This silly exercise of
mine just netted me
this poem.
Wanderlust of the
mind promotes
creativity.
Now I can nap,
after I cum
of course.

[Dave Brown]

Funny about attics
We are contemplating a move which has resulted in trips to our attic.
Each item we consider letting go, also takes along memories, which is a difficulty

Thanks for the read and review Dave.

I find cellars have quite the opposite effect but are a great place to sit and contemplate ..

[Thomas W Case]

so true. Thank you brother for stopping by.

[Poetic Beauty]

It never fails that inspiration can show up in the least likely of places and spark desire of the carnal kind depending on the words scribbled on the pages
