PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I WAS LISTENING TO THE WISDOM OF SUNDAYS ON AUDIBLE WITH OPRAH WINFREY AND THE LAST SPEAKER SAID...  ANSWERS COME AND GO

BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN....THAT STUCK IN MY HEAD...

SOUNDED TO ME LIKE THERE WAS A POEM IN THERE SOMEWHERE SO I CHANGED IT UP A LITTLE AND ADDED TO IT...THAT WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS POEM...KINDA REMINDED ME OF MY ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS...ARE THERE ANY ANSWERS...HA HA...SOMETIMES THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS BUT I GOT SOME ANSWERS...YOU NEVER KNOW...

I WAS TORN BETWEEN WHAT'S IT ALL FOR AND WHAT IT'S ALL FOR...I LEFT IT ALONE BUT THAT WAS  ON MY MIND...WHAT WAS ALSO ON MY MIND IS YEARS AGO I WROTE SOMETHING CALLED TIME UPON A ONCE THAT I MAYBE TITLED SOMETHING ELSE AKA TIME UPON A ONCE  THAT I  RECITED OVER MUSIC AND HAD ON WAVOME A WEBSITE THAT SHUT DOWN BUT AT LEAST THEY GAVE YOU WARNING THEY WERE DOING THAT.. ANYWAY  I KNOW I SAVED THAT STUFF BUT NOT SURE WHERE I SAVED IT...HOPING IT IS ON A FLASH DRIVE  SOMEWHERE BUT IT BOTHERS ME I CAN ONLY REMEMBER THE FIRST TWO LINES WHICH WERE TIME UPON A ONCE....DYSLEXICALLY INCLINED...IT BUGS ME THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE REST OF IT...ANYWAY I MISS THAT TIME UPON A ONCE SO COMPROMISED AND SORT OF USED IT HERE IN SOMETHING NEW...I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON SOUNDCLOUD WITH SOME OTHER RECITED POETRY BUT I DIDN'T FIND IT THERE...OH WELL..IF IT EVER SHOWS UP I WILL SHARE IT AGAIN...

SOMETIMES MOODS ARE AFFECTED BY WEATHER WHETHER IMAGINARY OR REAL...WEIRD HOW SOME THINGS MAKE YOU FEEL...

I REMEMBER WATCHING CHARMED AND WHEN THEY WOULD READ FROM THEIR BOOK OF SHADOWS I USED TO WONDER IF THERE WAS MAGIC IN POETRY...I WAS ALWAYS FASCINATED BY RHYMING WORDS AND MOST OF MY POETRY IS RHYMY SING SONGY...I LOVE RHYMES...THEY ARE A MAGNETIC FORCE FOR ME...I THINK POETRY IS MAGIC BECAUSE NO TWO PEOPLE READ EXACTLY THE SAME THING...YOUR INTERPRETATION OF IT BRINGS YOU THE MESSAGE YOU NEED TO HEAR OR THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU...WHEN THE  RHYMES COME IT FEELS LIKE YOU GOTTA WRITE THEM DOWN FAST OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM FOREVER...LIKE YOU GOTTA KEEP UP WITH THEM AND WRITE THEM DOWN QUICKLY...THEY ARE ELUSIVE...MAYBE TOO MUCH INFORMATION AND YET YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION...

BETTER HALF BAKED THAN BURNED

AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED

MAYBE SOME THINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE FIGURED OUT

MAYBE JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...THESE THOUGHTS GOT EDITED AND BECAME TWO MORE LINES...INTERESTING...ORIGINALLY TITLED COSMIC STRINGS...DECIDED ON JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT  CUZ I DIDN'T WANT TO INFLUENCE YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT

DO YOU READ BOTH STANZAS THE SAME OR DIFFERENTLY

THE SECOND STANZA IS HOW I READ IT ORIGINALLY BUT WROTE IT BOTH WAYS TO SEE IF IT WAS READ DIFFERENTLY IF THE INITIAL CONCLUSION WAS DRAWN FROM THE SECOND STANZA....

NEVER MIND

DON'T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OVER IT...

OK THEN...SOMEONE IS IN A SILLY MOOD

THIS STARTED OUT AS TWO LINES WITH THE THIRD LINE JUST BEING THE TITLE BUT THEN THREE MORE LINES CAME ALONG AND THERE YOU HAVE IT....HMMM

LIKE IT WAS GONNA BE SORTA LIKE TRUTH QUOTES BUT THOUGHTS TO PONDER INSTEAD AND THEN IT DECIDED TO CHANGE UP ON ME...WHO KNEW...DID YOU...

THESE THREE  TRUTH QUOTES  BASICALLY SAY THE SAME THING SO I PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER...
