10% Crazy

Maybe I’m crazy; it’s possible I’ve gone mad

Just a tad on the wacky side

A little loony, but not that bad

Perhaps I’ve lost my marbles

Maybe one or two

I wouldn’t be surprised if I had a loose screw

I may be out there beyond the realms of the norm

Possibly deranged

Mentally out of form

A little nuts, A little off

A little bit bizarre

Maybe my minds travels went little bit too far

Unbridled exploration through curiosities and thought

May have people wondering

What sanity I’ve got

If the mind is mostly a mystery and we only use part of our brain

Settling for 10 percent

To me, is what’s insane

Great thoughts, I think I've read something along the same lines from you or another writer on here before. No matter, it is thought provoking and real. In this line it seemed to me that you were either missing an 'a' or, maybe just didn't notice anything off. "Maybe my minds travels went little bit too far" So, after 'went' you need an 'a' or, better yet perhaps, take out 'little' and add 'just a'. Just a suggestion, still a great write.

Haha. Awesome

Love the poem. The subject was great and substance of the stanzas was truthful. Please take this last comment as a mere suggestive thought. I think this piece would be more powerful if you used started a new stanza every third line. I like the flow it poses however the rhythm would be off the charts with this little addition. Thanks for sharing.

I like this one even though I'm 90% crazy and 10% sane, you've got to tell me how you do it? I don't think we settle, we just haven't tapped into our potential. Good one!

Yes we are all mr. or mrs. ten per cent........Sounds like an agents fee

WHO gets the rest, that's what I want to know?

I loved the poem by the way

very entertaining and provocative piece, however.....i deg to biffer....i use every bit of my brain which i am capable of using. after the 70's it ain't easy. we only have that much capacity, our brains are more misunderstood than grown men who play with barbie dolls, so it isn't our fault....i admire the way you took this flight of fancy and turned it into a profound and resonant work of art. very cool and very nice. awesome penning here.

What on earth is crazier than poetry? Or more apt to make you crazy? Or keeps
going on when all the sane people have gone to bed? Or suspends you in a sensitive
silver salt? Or makes you laugh out loud or cry rivers over, of all things, words?

Nice poem. I'm personally waiting for my heavenly paradise so I can make angels
go crazy.
