Time Out I missed the quiet me that ‘take time for me’ person; the one who spends time reading until the early dark morning and wakes up with the book sleeping at my side. I missed me - the doodler of dreams, and making anagrams out of obscure words, playing as if I am still in grade school. My teacher trilling, “Okay, children, how many words can you make out of Halloween?” I mutter, “Who cares?” as I frantically make words competing against Mona even though I haven’t seen her for years. She always won – how boring! I missed the quiet time of me And I found myself in the dim corners of my imagination and in the blank pages that long to capture the essence of who I am. And I realize that, like those words, I am simply an anagram of emotions. --- Alison |

Oh, yes, well done, Alison, and how true of us all. Emotion is always the "starter" and intellect sometimes the "killer" but - sigh - I guess we're too lazy to take note and analyze emotion and prefer to reason the facts only. |

Very interesting poem, Alison. I think the beat poet are so good because they remember little things that others forget or they simply don't care about them. Ida |

Thank you, Ida. One of my favorite poets is Charles Bukowski. Alison |
