Ideas Poems

Poverty of Ideas

If we are the sheep,
then leaders must be shepherds,
guiding us to rest, to water, to fulfillment.
But if they fail—
what is the need to follow them into deserts of despair?

The world is broken not by famine of bread,
but by famine of vision.
Men with poverty of ideas sit in the driver’s seat,
and we wonder why the cart

Premium Memberbreak-up Senryus

Quick break-up Senryus.
Pick one to quickly, cut that old
relationship cord:

I'm sorry, say what?
I can't hear you (confused look)
- we’re breaking up.

You’re the guy that
every girl at our school wants
- it's their lucky day.

It's time that we took
our relationship to the
previous level.

I still cherish the
initial misconceptions
I had about you.

Lovefool by The Cardigans
Nothing Can Stop

When I’m not tapped into a music stream.

I like quiet
no - let’s be exact,
I like silence
ear plugs in - deafening quiet
or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound
That’s relatively new technology
My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things
gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes
like the patterns sound forms in sand.

But if you’re going to

Premium MemberI do not share my ideas with her

My ideas are different than hers
I could share mine, but I have learned not to
She wears ear muffs against my ideas
I keep silent,
But I am different because I listen to her
Sometimes changing my mind
Whereas she never opens herself up to any kind of change.

Cinderella

For years I had an idea in my head
You came along and brought it to life
I watched my thoughts and words take form of a human
Dreams of romance and adoration truly breathed
I was in awe
Something so far was finally at my fingertips
You were real
That was the best time of my life
I hate myself for taking

Premium MemberBad ideas never die

Social Media influencers on the racist right
said us Jews control radio and TV
That we rot the roots of morality’s tree,  
The implication is clear; there’s no society free.

One TV personality invited a guy
who spouted reasons for Hitler's views
As the real deal, I wonder why
So much dumping on the Jews

They talk of the 'noticing' -

Premium MemberIdeas from Strangers Conversations

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 others
I keep my head down, pretending I am not writing

Ideal World

Ideal World. Everybody wants it. But what world is the right one for the ideal?
There are so many ideal worlds. Subjectively. All the people want their ideals
One planet, one ideal. Right.  One planet and so many ideas, it doesn’t work

Ideal worlds. Everyone wants their own – the personal one. It is a selfish

Premium MemberAI and poetries

AI is groupthink, it’s hewed to pre-existing work,
which it aggregates into something bland and flat.

If you don’t want your work scraped and copied by AI, try
writing off-balance ideas that aren’t for everyone and have faith
that AI will never be able to actually rival human creativity.

Deny AI the echo chamber of predictable content on which it

Premium MemberMementos on the Moon Ideas

3d music bot that makes hearts swoon
Is what I’d leave melodies on the moon

Musical notes float like a magical mirror
Reflecting views of places applicable to each song
The notes can gather and form a body that dances
Or dissolve like sand to create lands sang about

For instance a song about the sea would be watery
The notes would

Premium MemberGood Ideas

Like waves on the ocean,
good ideas have fetches.
They come having travelled
vast distances and stretches.
Their past is invisible 
and often unknown,
but when brought to fruition
are rarely outshone.
