Abstract Beware Part Three

Dark clouds always never always have silver linings

The trash was new and the news was trashed

Wiped out, washed out,filtered, wrung, and then some

The knot was not loose but it was not tight

Peppermint twist played a lollipop lullaby

Wooly mammoths led the parade of ducks

Desktop dilemma too much information

Imprisoned in the freedom to decide

Gloria Vander Bilt many mansions

Global lobotomy face reality

Time emits space omits time omits space

Foggy memories frequent moments

Clowns crowned him King Bozo oh no not again

Octagon ozone layer lucky number 950

An interview with the vampire no questions no answers

Just erratic interaction

Julio Inglesias sings swan songs to a duck

duck goose you win I lose you lose I win

You go figure it out exactly!

Fish swim with crawdads ready to pierce their

ears with their rock n roll muzak amusing

Money kamikaze how much do I have how much

do I owe I don't know and it doesn't matter

Jasmine fields of poppies poppies poppies

Practicality is normalcy who needs it

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Once again, just using my lines here, you don't see what she wrote in response to these...weird stuff...out there...written long ago and yet people comment as if written recently...that is the beauty of abstract stuff I guess, I commented on that phenomenon here.Pam

It is interesting to see Ruth's comments here but this was written a very long time ago...so she is relating to it her own way now which is the cool thing about creative work...that many years later someone can look at it with fresh eyes and get something totally different out of it...that is the beauty of abstract stuff, it is much easier to read into it your own interpretation whatever that may be...kinda cool creative process going on there...I can't honestly say what I meant when I write that abstract stuff it is totally automatic writing that I can't write fast enough before I lose the train of thought...I am the channel to whatever creative source was speaking to me at the time if that makes sense or not...that is how it feels...too many ideas coming too fast all at once...If I had to interpret it I have no idea what I would say cuz it is left to your own interpretation and imagination but fun to read anyway or enlightening someway...don't know what else to say....

Hi again and another great piece, I like this one because if you take it line by line there is a lot said. dk clouds not always silver lining-true storm clouds don't hae one, trash new and news trashed- happens all the time on t.v.,knots not loose but not tight-stress comes and goes,peppermint twis played lollipop lullaby-we reflect to easier younger days that were sweet memories,wooly mammoth lead parade of ducks-corp america CEO's leading pions or so they think,desktop dilemmma too much info-yeah too much b.s. time to get real,imprisoned in freedom to decide-hard choices one makes soley,Gloria VanderbIlt many mansions,just because one comes from money and big house does not mean they are happy,time emits psace emits time omits space-time infinite,foggy memories frequent moments,could be convenient forgetting,could be too much rat race to deal with could be health problems,Clowns crowned him Kingo Bozo oh no not again? Bush got reelected, inter view with vampire no questions no answers-typical interview in corp america today-hurry up and wait to b.s.,just erratic interaction-HR giving you a line of crap an not answering questions,Julio Inglesia sings swan song to duck-one can not be on top of the world especially plastic world their whole life,you go figure it out exactly-someone is looking for answers and finally comes to you which they should have in the first place,dont know what a crawdad is, Money kamikaze how much have,owe,I dont know doesn't matter-money is not the be all end all to everything just a necessity to meet expenses,doesnt guarantee happiness..Ok that's my take.......
