PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

 WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY CLOSE

ARE THE ONES  WHO HURT EACH OTHER THE MOST

I SUPPOSE THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT GOES

MAYBE NOBODY EVEN KNOWS

JUST DON'T STEP ON ANY TOES

TRY TO AVOID THOSE WOES

REMEMBER HOPE FLOATS

AN AFFINITY

FOR INFINITY

AND DIVINITY

ANONYMITY

PRACTICALITY

ABNORMALITY

ACTUALITY

COMMONALITY

CURIOSITY

ARISTOCRACY

OR BUREAUCRACY

SUCH HYPOCRISY

DON'T BE TOO PROUD

DON'T' BE TOO LOUD

IT'S NOT ALLOWED

DON'T EVEN POUT

OR TRY TO SHOUT

DON'T HAVE A DOUBT

WHAT'S KEPT INSIDE

CAN'T ALWAYS HIDE

IT MUST COME OUT

LIGHTNING FLASHES

LIGHTNING STRIKES

LIGHTNING CRASHES

LIGHTNING SPIKES

LIGHTNING BASHES

WHAT IT CATCHES

SOMEONE YELLS YIKES

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

THUNDER RUMBLES

THUNDER ROARS

SOMEONE GRUMBLES

AND IMPLORES

HURRY UP LET'S GO INDOORS

SOMEONE MUMBLES

YES OFCOURSE

PITTER PATTER

RAINDROPS CHATTER

ON MY WINDOW PANE

THAT'S THE SOUND OF RAIN

SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION

WILL AFFECT APPRECIATION

YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN

MAKES YOU FROWN OR MAKES YOU GRIN

BRINGS YOU DOWN OR FILLS YOU UP

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH

UP TO YOU TO SEE THAT STUFF

IS THERE SUBSTANCE OR JUST FLUFF

ONCE UPON A TIME IN REAL LIFE...ONE OF THE MOVIE THEATERS I HELPED OUT AT SOMETIMES SOLD HOT DOGS. A CUSTOMER ASKED ME IF WE HAD ANY CONDIMENTS. I  HAD NEVER HEARD THAT WORD BEFORE SO HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE MEANT. HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE CONFUSED LOOK ON MY FACE WHEN I SAID NO. I FIGURED IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THEN ODDS ARE WE DON'T HAVE IT...MADE SENSE TO ME...THEN HE WAS LIKE YOU KNOW MUSTARD,KETCHUP..WHO PUTS KETCHUP ON A HOT DOG...YUCK....I WAS LIKE NO WE DON'T HAVE ANY. I GUESS IT WAS ODD WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PUT ON THE HOT DOGS.  MAYBE THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE TOO MESSY IN THE THEATER TO RUIN THE SEATS OR MAKE IT MESSIER TO CLEAN UP OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW BUT I DO KNOW WE SOLD HOT DOGS ON BUNS WITH NOTHING TO ADD TO THEM. I WAS KINDA GLAD WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT STUFF CUZ I HAD NEVER HEARD THAT WORD BEFORE AND IF  WE DID HAVE MUSTARD AFTER I SAID NO TO CONDIMENTS I WOULD HAVE FELT DUMBER THAN I ALREADY DID...WHO COMES UP WITH THOSE BIG WEIRD WORDS ANYWAY...

A GENTLE WIND

BLOWING IN THE AIR

WITHOUT A CARE

MESSING UP YOUR HAIR

BLOWING THINGS AROUND

MAKING GENTLE SOUNDS

RUSTLING THE LEAVES

IN AND OUT IT WEAVES

SENSE MEMORIES
