Best Idea Poems

help mrs. muse is gone and my mind is shooting blanks 
my friend called inspiration is trying to walk the plank 

motivation just married mr lazy 
and confidence started acting really crazy 

cousin common sense is on vacation out of town 
and aunt intelligence is...

After a long and stressful day 
Running the bath and adding scented oils 
Watching the bubbles foaming and frothing 
Climbing into the deep soapy suds
Sensational scent of lavender rises
Relaxing in the steamy atmosphere 
Blissfully all my troubles melt away
Drying myself in a soft warm fluffy...

They just don't know how to apologize, do they?
Giving something that's prone to finger bleeds
and even chunkier thighs.
I'll give you the Golden Rule:
with situations like this
it is sure to apply.
An idea I propose (if I may be so bold):
give me a week without seeing your...

I saw a young lady today who had a tattoo that covered up her arm, 
It wrapped it up completely but it only added to her charm. 

The tat she had was bold and it caused me to do a double take, 
Because on her...

I got a lot of thoughts
rolling around in my head
Idea marbles,
colored black, blue, white and red
That’s very Afro-American of me
to be thinking this way
This ol’ noggin’ got a pocketful of idea marbles,
do you wanna play?
Let’s build something, what do ya say?
It gets pretty noisy upstairs...

There's an 'Idea'
Floating in the Air.
Neither Tea nor Coffee,
Neither Whiskey nor Vodka
Were able to Pull it In.

Paper looks Pale and Bored.
Pen, Bladder filled with Ink,
Is Waiting to Urinate few Words.
But the Idea is still Lingering
In the Air, Teasing me 
Day and Night....

I have nothing to say
I tell myself
Inside my brain is empty
Swept clean!
Nothing being thought
Let alone clever
Then I sense a tension
I know I have walled in
Several thoughts 
But it's so neat in my brain
I cannot move any partitions
Thrum thrum thrum
The thoughts are really not the 
Containable...

Why do I have so many cocktail dresses?
I know why 
But just a passing thought
I buy them mostly from wonderful charity shops
And I thought how lovely it would be
If I existed in the minds of those ladies who work there
As I exist in my own...

We had a great idea, my brother and I.
It would have worked except for sister Di.
She had to get in on the action you see.
Which caused us all sorts of trouble, us three.

We had this idea to stand on some stools.
Mom was gone, I was...

"What's the big idea?" Lyric Man said.

Well, for me, there's not one in my head!

If I had one, my dear,

it would surely appear

in my very own contest instead!


My reply to the challenge issued by Lyric Man in a recent blog, requesting a big idea for...

I'm not much of a writer,
more of an activist,
a doer,
timeless doing.

Anyway, my Yang side,
which you AnthroTribes might re-cognize as EcoJustice,
emerges from my PositiveYang/NotNegativeYin 
Win/Win Balancing 
compassionate/pleasant 
dialectically dipolar
co-binary appositional
positive/negative co-relational,
co-arising leftmind/rightbody hemispheres
of enbrightening light
and empowering sight

because both passions for restoring EarthTribe justice 
and felt body...

He wants a big idea  that he can share
How about a contest about "hair'
short, curly, long or straight
Your own colour that you hate,
Try dyeing it, show that you have flair.

Pastor Warren’s church in Orange County, Unity of Tustin too
There’s hardly anyone not affected; it’s sad but it’s true
Bottom lines are red, tithes & love offerings are lower
More people out of work, homes in foreclosure
Spending is dropping, business is slower.

Statistics say on average 34.5% of...

I travelled to Stratford today
(Crossed  the Avon on the way)
In search of The Bard
To give him my card
As I'd had an idea for a play...
