The election is done.
The results have come and gone.
It no longer matters who won.
It's decided, right or wrong.
Those of us, who voted our choice.
Did what we could do.
It was the way to have a voice.
Hoping it would find it's way through.
Our nation is divided, either friend or foe.
Political parties are at war.
Does anyone really know
what we continue to fight for?
It is time to lay weapons down.
Putting away the hateful words.
We need to meet on common ground.
And stop arguing it all to absurds.
Our opinions are our own,
based on what we believe is true.
But those that are overblown,
will be heard and considered by few.
We can rationalize what we believe,
until we no longer see what is real.
How can we expect to receive,
any satisfaction we hope to feel?
Isn't it time for there to be peace,
within this country we love?
Let all the fighting cease,
let it fly on the wings of a dove.
Let loose is what they tell me
don't listen they say frequently
I imagine out loud at times
and inwardly it chimes
I believe I am at fault
at times I wish tis nought
I'm just over stimulated
for that I'm not medicated
I do need to find a release
so I can have some peace
I listen to their words
And figure out absurds
It will serve me well
I'll feel relieved and I can tell
staring blankly
the sights are too odd to take.
creepy dull moments,
tick tock of the clock absurds
they're killing my sanity.

I have taken your single thread
And rolled it into a neat ball.
I’d like to knit a poem from it
And gift it to you as a shawl.
There are bright colors in this thread
That could be knitted into words.
But I am ever error prone
And must unravel the absurds.
I see my needle caught the thread,
Turned adjective into a noun.
English and knitting teachers both
Are looking at me with a frown.
I’ve drawn a pattern just for you
Have even coined some brand new words.
Your knit/poetry will come to you
On bright wings of exotic birds.
A true artist could knit a poem
That would be pleasure for your eyes.
I send my humble gift to you
And please feel free to criticize.
