PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I WAS TORN BETWEEN WHAT'S IT ALL FOR AND WHAT IT'S ALL FOR...I LEFT IT ALONE BUT THAT WAS  ON MY MIND...WHAT WAS ALSO ON MY MIND IS YEARS AGO I WROTE SOMETHING CALLED TIME UPON A ONCE THAT I MAYBE TITLED SOMETHING ELSE AKA TIME UPON A ONCE  THAT I  RECITED OVER MUSIC AND HAD ON WAVOME A WEBSITE THAT SHUT DOWN BUT AT LEAST THEY GAVE YOU WARNING THEY WERE DOING THAT.. ANYWAY  I KNOW I SAVED THAT STUFF BUT NOT SURE WHERE I SAVED IT...HOPING IT IS ON A FLASH DRIVE  SOMEWHERE BUT IT BOTHERS ME I CAN ONLY REMEMBER THE FIRST TWO LINES WHICH WERE TIME UPON A ONCE....DYSLEXICALLY INCLINED...IT BUGS ME THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE REST OF IT...ANYWAY I MISS THAT TIME UPON A ONCE SO COMPROMISED AND SORT OF USED IT HERE IN SOMETHING NEW...I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON SOUNDCLOUD WITH SOME OTHER RECITED POETRY BUT I DIDN'T FIND IT THERE...OH WELL..IF IT EVER SHOWS UP I WILL SHARE IT AGAIN...

SOMETIMES MOODS ARE AFFECTED BY WEATHER WHETHER IMAGINARY OR REAL...WEIRD HOW SOME THINGS MAKE YOU FEEL...

I REMEMBER WATCHING CHARMED AND WHEN THEY WOULD READ FROM THEIR BOOK OF SHADOWS I USED TO WONDER IF THERE WAS MAGIC IN POETRY...I WAS ALWAYS FASCINATED BY RHYMING WORDS AND MOST OF MY POETRY IS RHYMY SING SONGY...I LOVE RHYMES...THEY ARE A MAGNETIC FORCE FOR ME...I THINK POETRY IS MAGIC BECAUSE NO TWO PEOPLE READ EXACTLY THE SAME THING...YOUR INTERPRETATION OF IT BRINGS YOU THE MESSAGE YOU NEED TO HEAR OR THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU...WHEN THE  RHYMES COME IT FEELS LIKE YOU GOTTA WRITE THEM DOWN FAST OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM FOREVER...LIKE YOU GOTTA KEEP UP WITH THEM AND WRITE THEM DOWN QUICKLY...THEY ARE ELUSIVE...MAYBE TOO MUCH INFORMATION AND YET YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION...

BETTER HALF BAKED THAN BURNED

AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED

MAYBE SOME THINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE FIGURED OUT

MAYBE JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...THESE THOUGHTS GOT EDITED AND BECAME TWO MORE LINES...INTERESTING...ORIGINALLY TITLED COSMIC STRINGS...DECIDED ON JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT  CUZ I DIDN'T WANT TO INFLUENCE YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT

DO YOU READ BOTH STANZAS THE SAME OR DIFFERENTLY

THE SECOND STANZA IS HOW I READ IT ORIGINALLY BUT WROTE IT BOTH WAYS TO SEE IF IT WAS READ DIFFERENTLY IF THE INITIAL CONCLUSION WAS DRAWN FROM THE SECOND STANZA....

NEVER MIND

DON'T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OVER IT...

OK THEN...SOMEONE IS IN A SILLY MOOD

THAT PART DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY  QUESTIONS

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS  CAME FROM WHEN I USED TO HOUSEMANAGE AND WOULD GIVE MY SPEECH TO THE VOLUNTEER USHERS ABOUT WHAT I NEEDED HELP WITH...EXPLAINING HOW THE THEATER WAS SET UP HOW TO SEAT PEOPLE WHAT TO DO AT INTERMISSION AND HELP WITH CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS I WOULD ALWAYS ASK THEM TO REALLY LISTEN CUZ I COVERED EVERYTHING PRETTY SIMPLY AND THOROUGHLY AND IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTIONS AT THE END I WOULD ANSWER THEM BUT THEY  RARELY DID IF THEY WERE PAYING ATTENTION SO AT THE END OF THE SPEECH I USED TO SAY DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THERE USUALLY WERE NONE SO THEN I'D SAY DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS AND THAT WOULD ALWAYS GET A LAUGH...ANYWAYS THAT'S WHERE THOSE TWO LINES CAME FROM...

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE STORY OF MY LIFE I WORKED PLACES WHERE I CROSSED PATHS WITH LOTS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE...SOME I RECOGNIZED  SOME I DID NOT OR SOMEHOW FOUND OUT AFTER THE FACT...ONE SUCH MEMORY WAS OF TRUMAN CAPOTE...THAT VOICE OF HIS WAS SO FAMILIAR AND DISTINCTIVE...ALL I REMEMBER IS HE WAS WEARING A RAIN COAT LIKE TRENCH COAT STYLE SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN A RAINY DAY. HE WAS ASKING ME LOTS OF PERSONAL QUESTIONS AND I WAS ANSWERING THEM. HE SAID I SHOULDN'T DO THAT. I REPLIED I HAD NOTHING TO HIDE...I MENTIONED THAT TO SOMEONE ON FACEBOOK AND SHE SAID IT WAS  AN INTERESTING COMMENT HE MADE BECAUSE HE LOST A LOT OF FRIENDS CUZ HE USED TO THREATEN THEM WITH A TELL ALL BOOK....I FIND THAT FASCINATING. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...ANYWAY THE NOTHING TO HIDE  THOUGHT PROMPTED THIS POEM. EVERYBODY MUST HAVE SOMETHING THEY FEEL THE NEED TO HIDE...MAYBE SOMETIMES THEY EVEN HIDE IT FROM THEMSELVES...

HUH

DO I SENSE A BIT OF CONFUSION

HMMM

LET'S LEAVE IT AT THAT THEN SHALL WE
