PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

THIS ORIGINALLY ENDED WITH IMAGINE BUT THEN THE LAST FOUR LINES CAME TO ME AS I WAS TRANSFERING THE POEM OVER HERE....THEY COULD BE TWO SEPARATE POEMS BUT THEY SEEM TO BE A PAIR...APPARENTLY

 DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON TRIVIAL THINGS...FOCUS  IT INSTEAD ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO YOU AND BRINGS YOU JOY. ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES SO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO...THERE MIGHT BE A LESSON FOR YOU...LEARN IT AND MOVE ON...DON'T DWELL ON IT OR YOU WILL NEVER LEARN AND IT WILL NEVER LEAVE...AT LEAST IN THEORY...

I AM SURE I MENTIONED LEVITATING LLAMAS IN A POEM A LONG TIME AGO BUT FORGET WHAT THEY WERE DOING BACK THEN...TODAY IT WAS ALL ABOUT L WORDS AND FUNNY I CAN TOTALLY PICTURE THEM IN AN ABSTRACT  PAINTING OF SORTS IN MY MIND...WEIRD...I KNOW...

WHEN I LOOKED UP LOLLYGAGGING TO MAKE SURE I WAS SPELLING IT RIGHT WHEN I WROTE THE POEM BEFORE THIS ONE  SOMEONE HAD GOOGLED WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOLLYGAGGING AND DILLY DALLYING....ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW...HA HA...TURNS OUT SO DID I WONDER WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS AND IT WAS A MATTER OF PACE...BOTH ARE BASICALLY DAWDLING BUT  DILLY DALLYING IS AT A SLOWER PACE...SINCE MY PACE TENDS TO BE FAST I WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE LOLLYGAGGING...HA HA...I THOUGHT OK THEN AS YOU WERE WAS AN INTERESTING WAY TO END IT AFTER ASKING THE SILLY QUESTION....SILLY ME...RHETORICAL AS USUAL...NO COMMENTS  FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY...NOW ALL THESE OLD TERMS ARE POPPING INTO MY HEAD...LOOK WHAT I'VE GONE AND STARTED...GEEZ... 

LILLIPUTIANS LOLLYGAGGING JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD AND I LIKED THE WAY IT SOUNDED...HAVEN'T SEEN GULLIVER'S TRAVELS IN AGES SO REALLY NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS...HOW SHOULD WE FEEL IF HE IS WATCHING THEM...IT'S UP TO YOU... I DO REMEMBER A SCENE CLEARLY WHERE HE WAS SLEEPING AND THEY TIED HIM UP CUZ THEY WERE AFRAID OF THE GIANT STRANGER BUT ENDED UP BECOMING FRIENDS...   

I WONDER HOW THINGS IN THE WORLD GET SO OUT OF CONTROL AND WHY GOOD PEOPLE FEEL HOPELESS AND HELPLESS WHEN WE FAR OUTNUMBER THE BAD GUYS...THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO STOP THE TREND....AT LEAST I BELIEVE THE GOOD OUTNUMBER THE BAD...HOPE I AM NOT BEING NAIVE. REGARDLESS I HOPE THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER AND WE CAN ALL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. TOO MUCH NONSENSE GOING ON...

I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT A TONGUE TWISTER THIS IS UNTIL I TRIED TO RECITE IT ALONG WITH THE RECORDING...TRY IT...GOOD LUCK...HA HA

JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

BEST TO SAY THINGS IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY LEFT TO OPEN INTERPRETATION...
