I have a head created to use
some of us would like to choose...
to hold a mind above the eyes
to turn upward towards the skies.


I have a head, a space between my ears
whose mind I pick to jostle my peers
with temples to scratch for an idea or two
decipher animal sounds at a local zoo.


I have a head equipped with cavities for smell
and have a proud curved nose whose origin does tell
that the difference of an odor to another is no great feat
discover the right pheromone to arouse you to your feet.

I have a head with a chamber for taste
to know what to digest and not to waste
with teeth of white enamel still my own
albeit I've lived on sweets until full grown.


the head is for hair and hat to cover
a centre for the senses all to discover
the seat of mans sense of past and present,
how to progress from the life of the peasant

You tickle me with your humor, and dead on the mark expressions.
Really great! TD

Nan et al,

Good thing there is something between my ears
a wealth of images to share without fear.

Martin, you sure do have a brilliant head between
those ears. I enjoyed reading this poem.

Nancy, Ethyl, Midnite,

In this cruel world,lets be good to our minds
take life less seriously for whatever we find
