WHEN INSIGHTS INCITE

A POET TO WRITE

I WAS THINKING OF A BUNCH OF PICS I LOOKED THROUGH QUITE AWHILE BACK THAT MY SISTER WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US  TOOK ON A CRUISE SHIP. SHE PUT THEM ON A FLASH DRIVE I SENT HER SO I COULD SEE PICS OF HER TRIP. I WAS LIKE DELETE DELETE DELETE...GEEZ...I NEVER HAD ANY DESIRE TO GO ON A CRUISE...IT JUST NEVER APPEALED TO ME BUT SHE LOVED TO SO I WANTED TO SEE WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS SO GREAT ABOUT IT AND THE MAJORITY OF HER PICS WERE OF FOOD. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT...I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE MAYBE DOLPHINS AND THE OCEAN AND INTERESTING PLACES SHE MIGHT HAVE  VISITED AND HONESTLY THE MAJORITY OF THE PICS WERE OF  THE FOOD....UNBELIEVABLE...I NOTICE MY NIECES AND MY OTHER SISTER LIKE TO POST LOTS OF FOOD PICS TOO...I DON'T GET IT...THEY DON'T SEEM QUITE AS CARRIED AWAY WITH IT AS SHE WAS BUT STILL SEEMS TO COME UP A LOT WITH THEM...ANYWAY...LIKE I SAID...TO EACH HIS OWN...JUST NOT FOR ME...

I ALWAYS LOVED THAT LESLIE GORE SONG YOU DON'T OWN ME...I EVEN DID A KARAOKE COVER ON YOUTUBE AWHILE AGO....

I DON'T PLAY HARD TO GET I AM HARD TO GET...ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE...SO DON'T WASTE ANY TIME TRYING...HONESTLY NOT INTERESTED....JUST A GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT...SO TIRED OF BEING BOTHERED....TRUTH

MANY TIMES AS A KID I WAS  TOLD BY MY  MOM TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS AND THAT SOME STUFF WAS NOBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS....SO I WAS JUST GONNA END WITH ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIS THERE'S SOME STUFF I DON'T NEED TO KNOW BUT THEN DECIDED TO ELABORATE ON EXAMPLES OF STUFF YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW....HMMM...INTERESTING TWIST THERE HUH...

I WANTED TO RHYME BOTH WORDS AND SEE HOW FAR I COULD GO TO CHANGE THINGS DRASTICALLY...SOMETIMES IT CAN BE TEDIOUS AND FEEL UPTIGHT TO BE TOO POLITE...SOMEBODY WILL PROBABLY SLIP SOONER OR LATER...INTENTIONALLY OR NOT...IT MAY FEEL LIKE YOU ARE WALKING ON EGG SHELLS TO BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR OR SOMETHING...I DUNNO....POLITE COMPANY JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD AND THAT WAS WHAT CAME OF IT.

FAIRY TALES USUALLY END AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER...BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY...DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IT....I DIDN'T...JUST TOOK IT MATTER OF FACTLY...HAPPILY EVER AFTER...HMMM

THE LAST FOUR LINES CAME LATER...THE FIRST TWO OF THOSE WERE GONNA BE A COMMENT ON THE POEM HERE AND THEN THE LAST TWO CAME ALONG FOR THE RIDE VERY UNEXPECTEDLY...PUT OUT YOUR FOOT THE SHOE WILL FIT....A CINDERELLA STORY PERHAPS....WHO KNOWS...KEEPS ONE GUESSING I SUPPOSE.....OR PERHAPS AN EXAMPLE OF A FREE AND OPEN MIND AND WHERE IT CAN GO IF YOU LET IT...BEST NOT OVERTHINK IT....

I AM LISTENING TO A FREE TAPPING SUMMIT AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT PROCRASTINATION AND I REALIZED ALTHOUGH I AM A MAJOR PROCRASTINATOR IT NEVER EVER FACTORS INTO POETRY....PROCRASTINATION NEVER COMES INTO PLAY WHEN POETRY IS INVOLVED...SUCH A SIMPLE FAST PROCESS...IT COMES AND  THEN IT'S DONE...

ON SECOND THOUGHT TRY NOT TO  IMAGINE THAT...IT'S NOT A PRETTY PICTURE...
