Lewis Raynes Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Ocd

I love living with my OCD, 
But a disorder it is not.
I work in the local library you see, 
Where books have their own spot.

I threw out the Dewey system, 
And bought books with colourful spines.
And now every book is arranged in groups, 
Under their colourful signs.

There’s red books and blue books, and 
The groups of black, white and green.
So now the library is all organised, 
Into a rainbowed sort of a theme.

Some folks seem to think I’m jumbled, 
Creating a muddled type of mess.
But I disagree one hundred percent with them, 
I am an ordered success.

Hi, this was written 11th Oct 2016 for contest 224 of and judged on 17th Oct hope you enjoyed this one :)

Darren White October 24, 2016 at 11:28 PM I love this :) I am an Asperger, no OCD, but the effect is about the same, and I invite people to just accept that there is more to the world than the so-called 'normalcy'. Favourite. Lewis Raynes October 26, 2016 at 5:45 AM Darren, I agree 100%, I'm neither, but feel society has unfair ideals, and misguided ideals. Capitalist ideals.

Casarah Nance October 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM I worked at a thrift store once and I even had the belts color coordinated, I can relate to this, brought a smile to my crazy face. ;) Lewis Raynes October 12, 2016 at 4:11 AM I would have bought the red belts... All of them :)

Cheryl Hoffman October 11, 2016 at 9:39 PM I love the multi-colored system you made! Your poem shows that OCD can be a positive effect as well!:) Lewis Raynes October 12, 2016 at 4:10 AM Ocd is maybe more useful than we think.
