PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

SOMETHING I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT...GLAD WE NEVER HAD A DEAD TREE...IT JUST SEEMS SO WASTEFUL TO ME...I NEVER UNDERSTOOD CUT FLOWERS EITHER...PLANT THEM AND LET THEM LIVE OUT THEIR LIFE...DON'T CUT THEM DOWN IN THEIR PRIME...SUCH SAD TRADITIONS SOME PEOPLE HAVE...THOUGHTS TO PONDER...THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS ON THAT SUBJECT...I AM SURE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BUT WORTH EXPLORING THESE... KUDOS TO THE LORAX AND JOHNNY APPLESEED

i KNOW I HAVE WRITTEN A POEM WHERE I USED INSTINCTS BUT MEANT INTUITION. PRETTY SURE INSTINCTS WORKED WELL WITH THE RHYME AND INTUITION WOULD HAVE THROWN IT OFF OR I HAVE MENTIONED INTUITION QUITE A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST SO WANTED TO USE A DIFFERENT WORD...DON'T REALLY REMEMBER WHAT THAT CIRCUMSTANCE WAS AS IT WAS AWHILE AGO BUT I WAS JUST WATCHING THE REPLAY OF HIGH VIBES LIVE FOR WINTER SOLSTICE THAT I SOMEHOW TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT FROM KYLE GRAY'S RAISE YOUR VIBRATION COURSE AND HE HAS BROUGHT THAT UP IN THE PAST AND BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO...SO IT WAS ON MY MIND AND I WROTE THIS POEM ABOUT IT.

THAT FARAWAY LOOK I MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS POEM STUCK IN MY HEAD...SO MUCH CAN BE SAID ABOUT THEM...AND SO I WROTE ANOTHER POEM INCLUDING THAT FARAWAY LOOK...BUT IT IS FUNNY WHEN I READ IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES  I WAS DEBATING ON THE TITLE...SO MANY COULD HAVE BEEN USED...SOME CHOICES WERE  DISTRACTION OR DISTRACTION SETS IN OR DISTRACTION SETS IN  AGAIN OR WE FOLLOW IMAGINATION OR NO PLACE ELSE TO GO...ANY OF THEM INTERCHANGEABLY WOULD HAVE WORKED BUT I STUCK WITH THAT FARAWAY LOOK BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD WHEN I WROTE IT...I DECIDED FOR ALL THE LINES TO HAVE NINE SYLLABLES NOT SURE WHY JUST DID...ONLY ONE LINE ORIGINALLY HAD EIGHT SYLLABLES SO I JUST ADDED A YOU'RE TO IT...HA HA...ORIGINALLY  BUT SOMEPLACE ELSE FAR FAR AWAY GOT THE YOU'RE ADDED TO IT...

FARAWAY LOOK...YOU KNOW THE ONE..DAYDREAMING...OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE...IMAGINING...

INTUITION IS YOUR COMPASS

YOU MUST LEARN JUST HOW TO TRUST IT

CAME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT BUT A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE...IN A WORLD WHERE SO MUCH DECEPTION GOES ON THESE TOOLS ARE IMPORTANT TO USE...

WATCHING DEAD MAN...THE WAY THE INJUN SPEAKS GOT INTO MY HEAD SO I HAD TO PAUSE IT TO WRITE THIS...NOT SURE WHY I CALL HIM INJUN MAYBE THINKING OF INJUN JOE FROM TOM SAWYER MOVIE...HEAR ME RECITE IT HERE

PARLAY...I HAVE ONLY HEARD THAT WORD USED WITH PIRATES BEFORE BUT TODAY I AM HEARING IT A FEW TIMES AND PIRATES AREN'T INVOLVED...DECIDED TO PLAY WITH IT ... JUST CUZ THAT WORD KEEPS  COMING UP AND SURPRISING ME THAT NO PIRATES ARE INVOLVED...HA HA

BEEN THINKING..I'VE NEVER BEEN THE BETTING TYPE BUT I DO REMEMBER AS A CHILD USING THE PHRASE WANNA MAKE A BET...BUT NO MONEY WAS INVOLVED...  PARLAY WAS NOT PART OF MY VOCABULARY...

PICTURING CONCEPTS YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CAN FEEL SURREAL. IF YOU ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE THEM THEN SURREAL BECOMES REAL AND SURREALITY BECOMES REALITY...FASCINATING STUFF...MIND EXPANSION...BEEN LISTENING TO AN INTERESTING ENERGY MEDICINE SUMMIT THIS WEEK LEARNING ABOUT LOTS OF UNFAMILIAR TINGS THEN STUMBLED ACROSS A FREE KINDLE BOOK THAT SHOWED ITS AUDIBLE COPY WAS ALSO FREE TO LISTEN TO WITH AN INTERESTING TITLE...I RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE...SO SURREALITY POPPED INTO MY HEAD...I FIGURED  IF REAL HAS REALITY THEN SURREAL SURELY HAS SURREALITY BUT I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND IT ACTUALLY WAS A WORD...I THOUGHT I MAYBE MADE IT UP...ANYWAY THAT COMBO INSPIRED THIS POEM...

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND...
