PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I LISTENED TO FIFTY FAMOUS FAIRY TALES ON AUDIBLE PRETTY RECENTLY...MOST I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE BUT I NOTICED A COMMON THREAD AMONG THEM ALL ENDING WITH BEING MARRIED AND LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER AS IF THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES A HAPPY ENDING WHEN IN FACT IT IS OFTEN QUITE THE OPPOSITE...I GUESS AT THE TIME THOSE FAIRY TALES WERE WRITTEN MARRIAGE WAS  SACRED AND YOU NEVER HEARD THE WORD DIVORCE...IT DIDN'T EVEN EXIST...THESE DAYS OF MULTIPLE MARRIAGES EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME AND NEVER WORKING ON ANY PROBLEMS JUST THROWING IT AWAY AND RUSHING INTO ANOTHER ONE HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT ENDING...WE LIVE IN A THROWAWAY SOCIETY. EVERYONE SEEMS TO EXPECT PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES AND PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS WHEN  JUST BEING HUMAN MAKES US ALL IMPERFECT...I DUNNO...ANYWAY THOSE WERE SOME THOUGHTS WHILE WRITING THIS.

ORIGINALLY SAID

YOU WILL FIND

THE OPPOSITE WILL OCCUR

BUT THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE

MAY  MAKES MORE SENSE

THINKING OF TINY TIM'S SONG TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS FROM THE SIXTIES I THINK MAYBE SEVENTIES BUT WHEN I WAS A KID...HE USED TO SING IT ON VARIETY SHOWS...I THINK THAT IS THE ONLY SONG I EVER HEARD HIM SING...EVERYBODY SEEMED TO KNOW IT BACK THEN....SILLY SONG...SILLY POEM

GOOGLED IT AND FIRST THING THAT CAME UP WAS THIIS LINK TO YOUTUBE

EVERYDAY SHOULD BE EARTH DAY...WE WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT THIS PLANET THAT WORKS SO HARD TO SUSTAIN ALL LIFE HERE DESPITE THE MANY STUPID ACTS OF STUPID HUMANS WHO CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER. DIVINE INTERVENTION IS NEEDED AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. WE CAN'T LET THINGS CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. MAJOR CHANGE IS NEEDED. CORRUPTION NEEDS TO BE WIPED OUT FOR GOOD FOREVER. GOD BLESS US ALL.

INSPIRATION...GOTTA LOVE IT

THIS CAME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT I WAS JUST GONNA POST IN THE COMMENT HERE BUT DECIDED TO  ADD IT AS A SECOND SHORTER VERSE ABOVE....

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO 

YOU MAY BE INSPIRING

IT'S BEST I THINK TO 

JUST KEEP WRITING

SEEMS THE MORE RISKS YOU TAKE

WHEN YOU DON'T HESITATE

THE MORE THE UNIVERSE HAS YOUR BACK

SO HOW DID WE GET SO FAR OFFTRACK

DECIDED TO ADD THESE FOUR LINES ABOVE THAT STARTED AS THE  COMMENT ON IT...WHEN I LOOK BACK FROM EXPERIENCE I KNOW IT'S TRUE...SO I ASK MYSELF NOW WHAT'S STOPPING YOU....WHAT THE HECK PARAPHRASED AND ADDED THE REST...

WATCHING ANOTHER GWYNETH PALTROW MOVIE POSSESSION I JUST CAME ACROSS AND HADN'T HEARD OF BEFORE...

JUST WATCHED PROOF..A GWYNETH PALTROW  MOVIE I JUST CAME ACROSS I HAD NEVER HEARD OF OR SEEN BEFORE ABOUT A PROOF WHICH WAS IN A NOTEBOOK AND PICTURING IT LITERALLY BEING IN PUDDING  AND BEING RUINED UNABLE TO READ IT ANY LONGER WHEN THE ACTUAL MEANING OF THE PHRASE WOULD  WORK PERFECTLY WITH  THE PROOF... GOOGLED THIS

The proof is in the pudding is an expression that means the value, quality, or truth of something must be judged based on direct experience with it—or on its results. The expression is an alteration of an older saying that makes the meaning a bit clearer: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.Mar 9, 2022

AFTER WRITING THIS IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I GOOGLED POLKA DOT POLKA AND FOUND ONE ON YOUTUBE...HA HA...I ALSO LOOKED UP ORIGINS OF POLKA DOTS AND THEY GO FAR BACK TO  MEDIEVAL TIMES IN EUROPE AND THE  CONNOTATION BACK THEN WAS CONNECTED TO SICKNESS LIKE SMALL POX OR PLAGUE...INTERESTING FINDINGS THERE CERTAINLY UNEXPECTED BY ME....GOOGLE IT

POLKA DOT POLKA https://youtu.be/ZGNpOBzpcvE

The origins of polka dots date back to medieval times in Europe, when they held a much more ominous connotation. Back then, polka dots and any similar patterns were associated with disease and poor health, likely due to the visual similarities shared with the sores caused by the plague and smallpox.Jun 16, 2022

HERE IS A NICER ONE I LIKE BETTER... What does the polka dot symbolize?

Meaning of Polka Dot Patterns

On the Western side, the circle is a circular movement which does not change, does not end, lasts forever and is perfect. It represents protection among them and for Christians, it symbolizes eternity. It is the symbolization of the universe, of perpetuity.

What do polka dots have to do with polka?

The term likely originated because of the popularity of the polka dance around the same time the pattern became fashionable, just as many other products and fashions of the era also adopted the "polka" name.

MANY OTHERS ON GOOGLE TOO I WILL STICK TO THESE...IT MENTIONED MINNIE MOUSE WEARING A POLKA DOT DRESS TOO...HA HA
