PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

WHAT IS IT ABOUT

A JACK IN THE BOX

THAT MAKES IT SEEM

SO SINISTER AND SCARY

WHEN IT PLAYS BY ITSELF

EVEN WHEN YOU CRANK THE HANDLE

YOU KNOW IT WILL EVENTUALLY POP OUT

YET WHEN IT DOES IT STILL MAKES YOU JUMP

JUST ME

BEING FREE

WRITING PLAYFULLY

LET'S SEE

WHAT WE'LL BE

CREATIVELY

SHALL WE BE THE SEA

SHALL WE BE A TREE

MAYBE A MONKEY

JUST IMAGINING

MANY DIFFERENT THINGS

FLYING WITHOUT WINGS

I'VE DONE THAT IN DREAMS

RUNNING, JUMPING IN THE AIR

I TAKE OFF FROM THERE

NOT TOO HIGH AND NOT TOO LOW

 I JUST FLY AND AWAY I GO

ANYONE CAN USE POETIC LICENSE

BEST OF ALL IT DOESN'T COST A CENT

JUST MAKE SURE THE SOUND OF IT IS NICE SINCE

THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU MEANT

CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN WIDE OPEN  SPACES

GO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT

I DON'T KNOW BUT  WHATEVER THE CASE IS

I SURELY HAVE MY DOUBTS

I LOVE TO HEAR THE BIRDS SING

THEY SING SUCH PRETTY SONGS

I FIND IT SO RELAXING

I COULD LISTEN ALL DAY LONG

A TORNADO OF WORDS IS SPINNING AROUND

NOT QUITE SURE HOW TO WRITE THEM ALL DOWN

A WHIRLWIND OF IDEAS ARE IN FLIGHT

I GUESS I'D BETTER SIT DOWN AND WRITE

SO MANY DIRECTIONS WHICH WAY TO GO

IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO GO WITH THE FLOW

BUT WHEN THOUGHTS ARE SPINNING A MILE A MINUTE

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO DIG DEEP DOWN IN IT

I THINK IT IS IMPLICIT

TO BE MORE ALTRUISTIC

IT REALLY IS SIMPLISTIC

RESULTS WOULD BE TERRIFIC

NOT BEING MORE SPECIFIC

JUST AS A GENERAL RULE

IT COULD BE PRETTY COOL

FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN RULE

WHY DO THEY CALL IT FALLING IN LOVE

SHOULDN'T IT BE FLOATING UP ABOVE

TO FLY WITHOUT NEEDING ANY WINGS

JUST FLOATING ON AIR WHILE YOUR HEART SINGS

MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT TRAVELS

SOMETIMES IT UNRAVELS

SOMETIMES IT BEDAZZLES

LIKE MYSTICAL CASTLES

WITH SECRET PASSAGEWAYS

YOU CAN EXPLORE FOR DAYS

IN AN ENCHANTED MAZE

YOU MAY BE IN A DAZE

BUT YOU'LL GET THROUGH THE HAZE

AND YOU'LL BE QUITE AMAZED

BY THE TRICKS THE MIND PLAYS

IN UNEXPECTED WAYS
