Ideas Begin To Percolate

Ideas begin to percolate They pop out of me in bubbles Floating out the window Stopping traffic One hesitates Apparently feels badly. Changes directions and floats back. I pop it and reptile, banana, and Grand Canyon fall out. A blue banana riding a pink reptile At the Grand Canyon float into my dendrite field. The banana whips out an I-phone and begins taking selfies. In the tiniest voice she says “You won’t believe where I am”. “Where?” “In someone’s head.” Rhymes begin floating out of another part of my brain. The rhyming part. I have a phrenologist bust. I look at it but do not see any area labelled rhyming So what good is it? The rhymes are singing now, in a lilting sing-song way. “I will get them!” the blue banana yells. She begins chasing the rhymes. She brought two back. Scramble and Bramble. I snatch up verdant, perceptibly and goose as they float by Or maybe these are just my floaties. I am unclear now. Is this real or another dream? I shut my eyes.

bubbles... hehe... I love bubbles... This is so fun. "Blue Banana"... I love Bananas... haha (and write about them)... Keep your eyes open, even in dreams...at least sometimes. The colors change and swirl. Hugs my friend. I loved this one for sure. Ann (side note, excellent article about poetry. There was no where to leave a comment. So I penned it here... or tapped it, or wrote it, or?...hum) Excellent.

Thank you so much. I am on a big "roll" this week for ideas are following me around and laughing at my consternation during the day. For some weird reason, I am grabbing them and putting them on post-it notes for later.

I was on vacation and not feeling a bit good the whole time. I am still suffering, but luckily school keeps me so busy I am not feeling sorry for myself because I am too busy!
