Inspiration asleep
Emotions dead
Needing to use my head
Put on my thinking cap
Then I won't do any harm
When using my pen
To write this poem...

One day spawns the next,
As on life one reflects.
That dusk begets the dawn,
As life goes on,
You don’t need a thinking cap,
To avoid this apparent trap....

That dusk begets the dawn,

Pollyanna can do,
Sounds optimistic to you,
Idealism for me and you,
No need to wake up blue,
Women are a capable crew,
Most stuff we're equal to,
Put on your positive thinking cap,
Pollyanna can do, that's that....

he was hanging from the charcoal rafters
doing push-ups thinking cap dangling loosely
by his side like a detached trouser stripe

time for emotions and mindful assonance
for when reason fails feelings surpass
the limbo of a lost soul yet to be found

It’s A Snap
Limerick
Written: by Tom
2-7-2020

When things come too easy I call them a snap,
Though some require donning my thinking cap.
When sometimes confused,
over perchance being used,
I overcome the fractious and take a victory lap.

You can track your sleep
With your watch’s app
So each toss and turn 
Gets a little zap.

Still, though stats may prove
That you slept like crap,
You must know yourself,
Since your brain will map

All the signals sent
To your thinking cap,
Which will thus conclude -
Hey! You need a nap!...

On an as is where is basis, we see
Born into form, power to manifest
Don thinking cap, conjuring misery
Scorn the norm, as one-upmanship persists

Feeling incomplete, we choose surrender
Bringing head and heart into alignment 
Standing erect, beholding Gods wonder
Purring bliss rapture, tranquil contentment

The form is not in the list. This form is  Ae Freislighe 


Calliope tutelage
“There be tales from times not told,
brought back through your lineage,
dreams dredged from dark days of old”

Animate lost Anima
place a new thinking cap on
hang up hero’s panama
parlay phrases till past dawn

Here sit I, laptop clicking
chickens chiding privilege
wrapped in writing, clock ticking
Calliope tutelage....

My kingdom for a topic;
I do not need a choice,
Just one to which I can attach
My daily rhyming voice.

Most subjects seek me out
Or fall, politely, in my lap
And others show as soon as I
Put on my thinking cap.

But once in a great while,
With my pencil in my hand,
I stare into my writing book,
No thoughts at my command.

And so I write a little poem
About my lack of theme,
The words cascading quickly
In a firm and steady stream....

With my thinking cap on
sometimes too tight
restricting thoughts
or words to write.

Inside my head
a jumbled mess
frustration reins
I must confess.

The words must rhyme
or maybe not
a stitch in time
solutions sought.

Paper drafts
lay everywhere
of idea's cast off
for which I did not care.

Much time is given
for words just right
a poem well written
is now in sight.

The stage is set
time to prepare
with words arranged
I now can share....
