CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

Brain Design

My brain spots are pastel dots
that always fight with my stripes
over who is left and who styles right.
It’s bad enough that my stripes
also argue with each other,
not over their primary color,
but vertical décor versus horizontal.
My brain top is invisible,
not even shadows of minimal.
Brain designers concur it is not fixable.
In the back, well-stashed,
is a golden memory cache
guarded by a spot named Brat.
Small Brat drags a key most tall
and selfishly guards my recall.
Floating, flying, gliding free
is a silver-toned, sprite fairy
who sparkles imagination in me.
Fairy will not argue, just avoid,
my fuzzy brain, logic droid
who climbs over my stripes
and around all my brain dots
attempting to fill and deploy
smarts into all my brain voids.

Daniel Turner March 21, 2018 at 8:59 PM CayCay, I think most of my brain spots are dead. Nice to see there's nothing wrong with your imagination. Your poem was a bit of a brain teaser for me. It made me smile:) Good luck! CayCay Godwin March 21, 2018 at 9:30 PM I hope you really did enjoy it - what a great day I just had if I truly made Mr. Turner smile! My pleasure, truly. It was a fun one to write. Initially, nothing for this, but when the poem bloomed earlier today, it did so fully. Poetry hugs and thank you's ... CayCay
