Long Think outside the box Poems

And the earth was square
We’d all be living different lives
Sharing a different time
There would be another tune in the air
And our hearts would sing a new song

Speak your mind...

Am I really the only one thinking outside the box,
When it comes to pension costs,
Regardless of whether people are able to work or not,
With some working til they drop.

Let me open my box and tell...

In the beginning 
All I ever wanted to do is talk it over 
But constantly getting the cold shoulder 
Causes cold hopes

I’m a man of many theories 
based on life and death alone,
With my human head buried 
intrinsically in the ground,
A limited lack of imagination 
stymied by reason I’ve found. 

If I’m to find real answers

Cliche Heaven

Be it as it may I'll try my hand at some clichés
    and address the elephant in the room soon when pigs fly.
It’s a win- win situation, put your game face...

Taken with a pinch of salt

Invisible to the naked eye

Should you wish to be unique

Bare your soul be exposed stripped
of flesh down to the naked bone

Stand alone and out from the 
robotic crowd marching in
synchronicity

I'm simply Sam, the simple stalker
Popping sweet tarts like a drug addict pops their pills

Seahorses...Why?


Dear Mother Nature woke one day,
   and looked around with a sly smile,
surveyed her Earth, both land, and sea,
   then paused to think for quite a while.

I wanted to be a rich girl
In my posh executive suit
But then a little person
Made my life change route.

Posh make up replaced with eye bags
A bulge replacing my waist
The fear of getting through bed time

Through my eyes I see a student
A student with big dreams 
Big dreams to make his family proud 
His family proud because they gave him opportunity
Gave him opportunity to be who ever he wants to...

Taking time to ponder on the thoughts
Of things you do not know
Letting your mind wonder
Allowing room to grow
Thinking beyond reason
Of what some may seem to be
Beyond an explanation
For anyone to see
If your thoughts can find...

I opened and jumped out my window
I saw the bigger picture not just life through a window

Went to help out kinfolk

At times had to do the limbo
Wasn't always simple

As I watched our daughter watch her son graduate from college yesterday…
as our three generations aligned
I wondered if she was thinking what I once did…
If my same thoughts crossed her mind.

Was she wondering where the...

Readers beware
A scrambled mix of puzzlement
Pieces everywhere 

Fingers, toes

In the new world 
Find our first corner

New start to finding a match

Compare the choices in the pile 
In the box..
Think outside the box!

New strategy...

Women run into stores and buy up all the tan crap, oohing and ahhing.
Thinking how wonderful it is going to be in their beige houses 
with their brown trim.

What kinda box are we talking about here?

If it's the pizza variety then no thoughts necessary!
Just dig in and put off consequences 'til later.

A teacher steps in front of a class.
“Today we will be learning…”
Your bias?
Your inability to respect us?
The fact that you don’t want to be here?
Her mouth continues to move but I can’t zone back in.

Jack seldom ventured outside of his box,
comfortable although his body position was always squat,
feeling happy he sat inside eating bagels and lox,
some days wearing only a pair of beige socks,

He didn't like the grown-up world...
