Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Mind Is Twisted

My mind is twisted, not your average mind 
Off centre is a good way to describe it
Not saying it's a bad thing or totally unwelcome
Kinda like this weird kinda twist

Normal and mundane just has never appealed
Always had a strange outlook for sure
Look at things from a different perspective
A little weird but sure not a bore

Everyone should try it, just give it a whirl
Why am I promoting this thing
Until you experience it you'll never know joy
It will cause your dear heart to sing

I'm really not special, just discovered a truth
To feel happiness all else above
Since grade school, teen years, now old and grey
The secret's no secret, it's love

My mind is twisted, not your average mind 
Off centre is a good way to describe it
Not saying it's a bad thing or totally unwelcome
Kinda like this weird kinda twist

Joseph Matose October 9, 2013 at 1:06 PM Thanks Jack for reading and commenting on my recent posting. I've truly enjoyed this poem; your usual inner-most feeling that reflects the total outer world experience. Cheers Jack! JM Jack Ellison October 9, 2013 at 1:12 PM Everyone has unique qualities... some twisted, some more the norm! I can't be anyone else but me! Thank you once more for your kind words... they are ever appreciated! Cheers!

Carol Eastman October 9, 2013 at 9:54 AM All here at Troll Lake and Acorn Falls agree: Love is not twisted... Like us, It's perfectly normal. LOL... We were doing so well till I added that last part... Love is the basis for our good feelings... like hope, and kindness... or is it the other way around? No Dragon... I'm right! We love you and keep hoping all sorts of things... Like you'll some day behave... LOL... OOOPPPS! Gotta run... I disagreed with Dragon... and we all know he's always right! Put the barbecue sauce down! Bye!... Jack Ellison October 9, 2013 at 10:17 AM Your reviews by far are the most interesting and may I add kooky!!! Much love dear Carol xoxox

Poet Tacito October 9, 2013 at 9:00 AM From an outside perspective, you may be weird. But, I am weird too. So, to me, you're normal. ;-) Nicely said! =D Jack Ellison October 9, 2013 at 9:26 AM I guess everyone'a little weird in their own way... it's what makes us unique! Thank you once more my very good friend!
