Plunk Plick Plat Splat

Plunk plick plat splat The drip of faucet compels me to Throw down a few notes Words I had not thought of six seconds before Cardinals and sparrows Twittering and chittering I listen hard, capturing nothing Yet inspired by everything. My subconscious grabs these sounds Work on them as I slumber Astral travel my go-to-place As my muse sings what she finds funny We wake up suddenly A helicopter of a mosquito Dive bombs me Urging me to write of my killing ways I pick up a pen Dashing down an inky path in a notebook full of everything and nothing, twisting me with crazy ideas Shiny thoughts, dark ideas, Whimsical dragons, laughing at my silliness Leading me down paths with their plunks plicks plats and splats

About 5 hours a night unless I have a night where I am up and down every two hours or a night I stay up all night. It is weird how when I finally do CRASH I want to sleep for a week.

Pirates is my mainstay, Kurt. Dragons, faeries, pirates, Trixie and colors. Have a great weekend!

First off, love the Onamonapia. 'I listen hard, capturing nothing Yet inspired by everything.' This line grabbed me dear Caren

Thank you Allen. I had forgotten the fancy name with an O for it, so you are helping me remember it.

Musical, rhythmical romp, Caren. I enjoy these so, and I imagine that you enjoy writing them as well. (If not, give me Trixie's number and I'll have little mano- a-feline with her!!. LOL.) Best always, Gershon

Trixie would love that! But I am warning you, she will steal everything you say and make it into a poem and poke fun of everything you held holy before you met her. She is a sneaky little muse.
