It is amazing, being nuts A treasury for wordsmiths It takes a little bit of guts A number of 'what ifs' and 'buts' So much for me to play with! It's not embarrassing or sad It's just my life, come join me! I grin at you if you're a tad Surprised at all my glee, know that It's fine, and I forgive thee Too much tiptoeing isn't good Just tell me I'm a nutter No silken gloves, don't try to soothe Believe me, being nuts is food For poetry from the gutter I smile at you, a crooked smile Cuz I nod, it's a challenge To be just me, try for a while Be crazy, be a nut with style Be just a bit unbalanced There's too much greyness all around The world needs paint with colour A little noise, no solid ground Some sane insanity is sound So throw away that collar

Hello Darren. I turned the page to an older entry by you and noticed the title thus I just had to bite. This entry is two folded as I see a playful side and I also see the reality side of life being heavy with thoughts and of stress. Either side taken is well expressed. For me I'll take the playful for it brings a smile. The image is marvelous as is your creativity and execution. Well done

Thank you, also for the smile :) I often feel that handling difficult subjects with a smile makes it so much easier to swallow.

"Some sane insanity is sound" This line alone was great. It really fills out the message of this poem. I think we all are a little nuts, especially once we come out of our shell. :) Nice one Darren
