Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

The World Unknown To Me

The World Unknown to me

Let me write of things I do not know
underneath the folds of nothing
beneath a fake moon's glow
I'll write about my pretend university days
and my dope smoking ways
traveling life high
experiential artistic faze
In the company of fifty shady ladies
with long sexy legs
who thought I was amazing 
screaming out my name in praise

I could write about here or there
about having balls so big
nothing would give me a scare
Others could admire me 
saying "Boy he has a pair"
Yes I'd be someone
suave and debonair 
a golden boy 
with long flowing Fabio hair
reclining enticingly in a chair
with throngs of made up people 
mesmerized as they stare
Me being aloof as if I didn't care

Or maybe I'll write about 
jumping from a plane
how I only travel in the fast lane
Can you relate to the pretend things 
that reside in my brain
Come travel with me on a bullet train
Run through the streets naked
in the pouring hot summer rain
This world of illusion
is mine to maintain
The fabric of thought 
can take the strain
If I don't like something
I just rewrite it again
after all depending on what I make up
You might learn 
I'm a smidgen away
from being 
on the precipice of insane

Cracked or cool
a pretend genius
wrapped in the skin of a fool
Words written are a powerful tool
watch the unwinding of my spool
Lessons taught by observing
the apposing things in life that duel
Come sit at the bench
Roll up sleeves pull up a stool
fable and pen are waiting 
spill red ink on paper you are born to rule
this is a different kinda school
We are all teachers
ideas are the fuel!

Mama Bear February 19, 2017 at 11:12 PM Well you never get writers block Always another way to amaze us A big 7 from me What ever you do you always come out great Love mom Richard Lamoureux February 20, 2017 at 8:19 AM The thought of writers block is disturbing, I hope I don't have it for a very long time. The last time I had it it lasted seven years. Even if I stopped writing I've been blessed with more than my share of inspiration.

Charlie Smith February 19, 2017 at 4:44 PM Sometimes it just feels good to scream instead of sing. Enjoyed your episode... Richard Lamoureux February 19, 2017 at 7:41 PM Thanks Charlie it's a bit out of character but it was fun to shift thinking for a few minutes.

Keith O.J. Hunt February 19, 2017 at 1:25 PM Loved every word and expression in this whimsical wonder; it is so true, I've forced myself to write sometimes worrying at the same time that I'll only write rubbish, but sometimes really surprised myself. This would make a great moniker for letting the pen just flow! Richard Lamoureux February 19, 2017 at 7:41 PM Hi Keith, I like your poetic response.

Carol B. February 19, 2017 at 1:00 PM You're perfect as the Richard I have come to know through your poetry. Loved the write. Richard Lamoureux February 19, 2017 at 1:05 PM Thanks Carol, what a sweet comment.

Darren White February 19, 2017 at 12:34 PM I like the fifty shady ladies LOL, can we add a load more adventures? I love this, because that is what it is, right? If we pick up that pen, put that paper down before us, and start to write, anything can happen. Love this poem. Richard Lamoureux February 19, 2017 at 12:46 PM Thanks Darren, you got it buddy!
