PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

WATCHING THE PROPOSAL WONDERING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT AND HAD TO PAUSE IT TO WRITE THIS POEM THAT JUST CAME ALONG...

I HAVEN'T CHEWED GUM IN AWHILE BUT CAN VIVIDLY REMEMBER A TIME WHEN I WAS A KID RUNNING AROUND PUSHING A PLAYGROUND MERRY GO ROUND WITH GUM IN MY MOUTH AND YELLING SOMETHING SO THE PEOPLE ON IT COULD HEAR AND HAVING MY GUM FLY OUT OF MY MOUTH DIRECTLY INTO MY HAIR SOMEHOW...YUCK...I WOULD RUN REALLY FAST AND SPIN THE THING AND THEN JUMP ON AND GET A RIDE TOO BUT THE GUM IN THE HAIR PART WAS JUST PLAIN YUCKY AND THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO GET IT OUT BUT TO CUT IT OUT...SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA CUT IT OUT...CUT IT OUT ALREADY...HA HA...THE LESS PAINFUL WAY TO GET RID OF KNOTS IN YOUR HAIR IS TO CUT THEM OUT TOO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BRUSH THEM OUT OR PULL THEM APART...THE JOYS OR ANNOYANCES OF WAVY HAIR...

THE LAST FOUR LINES CAME AS AN AFTER THOUGHT WHEN I WAS COPY AND PASTING MY POEM OVER HERE...

BELIEVING IN DREAMS IS AMAZING AND MAGICAL. SILENCE LIMITING BELIEFS. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART. KEEP DREAMING AND BELIEVING.

THERE WAS A TIME I ACCEPTED ALL FRIEND REQUESTS ON FACEBOOK. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER. TOO MUCH HACKING GOING ON...TOO MANY IMPOSTERS PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE...I RARELY ACCEPT FRIEND REQUESTS ANYMORE...TOO BAD...I WAS ALWAYS FRIENDLY WITH EVERYONE...ALWAYS APPROACHABLE...THE TYPE OF PERSON PEOPLE STOP TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS ON THE STREET...IF I DO OCCASIONALLY TAKE A CHANCE AND THEY SEEM WEIRD TO ME IN ANY WAY OR I GET A STRANGE VIBE I TRUST MY INTUITION AND HAVE NO PROBLEM SIMPLY UNFRIENDING NO EXPLANATION AND BLOCKING ON TOP OF THAT...CRAZY TIMES WE LIVE IN...CEST LA VIE

PRETTY SURE LOTS CAN RELATE TO THIS

THIS WAS COMPLETE THEN I ADDED THE LAST THREE LINES THAT WERE GONNA BE MY COMMENTS HERE...

LOOKING THROUGH A BUNCH OF STUFF I CAME ACROSS A PIG WITH TINY WINGS...ONE OF THOSE THINGS FROM DOLLAR TREE YOU PUT IN THE SUN AND IT MOVES SO IT WOULDN'T ACTUALLY TAKE OFF BUT THE WINGS WOULD MOVE...JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT OLD EXPRESSION WHEN PIGS FLY...PRETTY SURE IT WAS SOMETHING YOU WOULD SAY IN RESPONSE TO SOMETHING YOU WOULD NEVER DO YOU WOULD SAY YA WHEN PIGS FLY...SO IF AND WHEN THEY DO I SUPPOSE YOU ARE OFF THE HOOK SAYING YOU WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING...I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE PHRASE NEVER SAY NEVER...NEVER OR ALWAYS ARE NO NOS...HA HA ANYWAY THINKING ABOUT  SEEING THAT PIG WITH WINGS I WROTE THIS...

THIS IS KIND OF A PEP TALK TO MYSELF THAT MAY WORK FOR OTHERS TOO OFCOURSE...I HAVE WRITTEN THOUSANDS OF POEMS OVER THE YEARS JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I RARELY REWRITE ANYTHING UNLESS I FIND A TYPO OR SOMETIMES A LINE POPS INTO MY HEAD THAT MIGHT WORK BETTER WITH THE FLOW OF THE POEM BUT NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN IT IS WHAT IT IS AS IT COMES TO ME...IT OFTEN FEELS LIKE AUTOMATIC WRITING LIKE I HAVE TO WRITE IT FAST OR I LOSE IT...THEY COME AT ANY TIME AND I NEED TO BE READY FOR THEM OR THEY ARE LOST FOREVER...ANYWAY RECENTLY I WROTE A POEM CALLED THE ESSENCE OF INNOCENCE AND THAT POEM JUST FELT REALLY SPECIAL TO ME...I USUALLY SHOW NO FAVORITISM BUT THAT ONE WAS JUST SPECIAL TO ME AND AFTER I WROTE IT I TOOK AWHILE BEFORE I WROTE ANYTHING ELSE CUZ I FELT LIKE NOTHING ELSE COULD LIVE UP TO THAT ONE...SO TRYING TO GET OVER THAT NONSENSE...THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AND I NEED TO JUST LET THEM  DO IT...
