Ideas Trapped By An Inactive Mind

Your mind is hidden in darkness
Thoughts trapped in deep crevasses
Their screams echoes through deathly shadows
Attacked and strangled at their every move
The struggle against invisible shackles
Drawing blood as they fight their captor
Demons search for ideas ripping them apart
Stripped skin strewn across...

Well what should I write about tonight?

Should I write about what I did today?
Should I write about my shoelaces?
Should I write about doing laundry?
Or Should I write about what I'd like for breakfast tomorrow?

Maybe I should ramble about how the school day went.
Maybe I should...

I wander through its corridors
 And up its winding stairs
 I enter cobwebbed rooms
 And find the yesteryears

 I wander through its seasons
 And find my autumn there
 The leaves are falling slowly
 Yet there is no time to spare

 I wander through its canyon

I throw down poems onto a page, and look at them fondly.
Some glare at me, others take a swift bite out of my neck.
Trying for attention.
I know it is not personal, so I let it slide.

Enthusiastic poetry always starts out with the words
“dancing and prancing”...

young of course
but strong
homeless sometimes
resilient always
she came to us on a Tuesday
walked up the hill carrying an old suitcase
full of her plays and poems
her ideas were magical.
they came at all kinds of times
while she was sleeping, vacuuming,
taking care of the children.
She was the most prolific...

Brought my daughter to physical therapy appointment
She is filling out three long pages of paper work – front and back
I am listening to other people’s conversations
Learning about strangers keeps me in writing material
My ears are as high as an alert rabbit as I listen to...

BIG IDEAS


UNG!!!!  Fire was the big idea
Flaming Woolly Mammoth on a hot stick

OHH!!   The wheel was the big idea
Woolly Mammoth are heavy

Caves were the big idea
Condos of cohabitation.

Road Trips were the big idea
Keep moving with the...

SUCH BIG IDEAS

White man lies.
He is just a crack among the flies.
He is not blowing any minds.
He must know that the lives he contradicts despise him.
His stance is he is walking for a cause.
He states that it is illegal to discriminate against White folks.
He expresses...

"Laughter the best medicine" it's said
A humorous poem was displayed

"Love is in the air" so 'tis said
A romantic poem captivated feelings

" Lies, lies, lies" is all that's said
The political poem expressed those wrongs

"The death toll reaches 5,000 in Nepal"
A poet views the scenes appalled

Laughter, romance,...

Complex of ideas

My hands smell like wood and, as I shout for a beginning, I pull myself out of me.
The laughter is shaking inside, it slips from head to foot and climbs…
I’m a young old man, for I have fed myself with old age…
That is...

Four hours till the drop time is standing still
As I mentally prepare myself gotta watch for the cops
I hear the spirit still
Baby we could be like the fox and the hound
Because let's be honest it's no fun playing with yourself
Baby no hard feelings I wish...

GREAT IDEAS

 Great ideas are put to bed

 Because fears and doubts invade your head

 Time does fly, you wonder why

 Those great ideas have passed you by

 The greatest philosophers, they have said

 We become what’s in our head

 What we think is how...

Let politicians claim virtue,
and abandon honest men.

Let the poor inherit promises,
and be comfortable servants.

Let the famous enjoy advantage,
and carry no favors in heaven.

Let physicians prescribe hope,
and a worthy price be paid.

Let education forge solutions,
and notorious liars lose favor.

Let simple humanity be rewarded,
and tyranny reap the...

What Lies Within

“What is this strange place we find ourselves in
Trapped in the open, we are free within?”

Ideas, like the ocean, there’s no end in sight
Yet shared among peers may bring panic, no light.

Our hearts, how they dance to such symphonic sounds
Our bodies rejected and...
