PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am doing a sync songwriting workshop and part of our homework was to do a brain dump for lyrics that would work for sync. I thought of the topic of overcoming. I am not a brain dump type person...that method doesn't work for me...my stuff comes more on autopilot so I did this for the assignment...I give myself permission to do things that work for me...

reading Debbie Harry's memoires and seeing When everything's gone mad inspired this poem...a blast from the past friend of mine who calls every so often out of the blue surprised me and got me a kindle edition of the book. He knows I love Blondie. He is the one who turned me onto the band. I got Parallel Lines and then got every other album i could find of theirs...pretty sure I have them all...some are on cassette tho and no longer play from overplaying them so much...I love Pollinator. I got that one on CD and a couple more I didn't have...I think I bought some that the cassette wore out on CD...I love their music. I am almost halfway through the book already...interesting story.

song lyrics

Those who think they know it all know nothing at all...

PTSD...we all have it in our own way...we need to stop letting it get the best of us...so much time wasted on things that cannot be changed and need to be forgotten...permanently erased...learn whatever lessons from it and move on and keep living and learning...easier said than done but thoughts to ponder nonetheless...you are not alone. Keep dreaming, keep hoping, keep living life to the fullest...take nothing for granted....be greatful...Focus on the positive.Peace.

WPOM poetry prompt...write a poem about the circus....mine is a true story...a friend of mine from HS ended up going with the circus and she worked there for years...I was not sure if I was going or not til the last minute but I waited too long to rent a room on the train so there was no more space left so I did not go...I told my mom if I don't come home tonite that means I went with the circus...drove that poor woman crazy sometimes...with the crazy stuff I would do...
