One Good Idea

Ever toss One Good Idea in the Sea of Fate
'cause some kin or buddy said it had no weight?
When the next one came to tremble your soul,
those fingers of doubt only strangled it cold.

No diploma, certificate or college degree
was required to envision what your vision did see.
For the God within pulsed a Light sublime,
that One Good Idea that was yours for the time.

It's had civilization running after learning to walk;
babies making speeches after learning to talk;
scientists, explorers letting loose their Fear;
Man marching forward on One Good Idea.

And Faith held together by the glue of Belief
will rocket that Idea past the hands of a thief
who hoped to impart some poisoning corruption
only to find he's been caught in its suction.

Perhaps, there's the crux of an Idea so true,
its power to magnetize and vibrate in you
to exalt our Love, to diffuse our Fear,
like an H-bomb of Change is
One-Good-Idea.
Boom !

Boom!  One good poem might just spring from one good idea.  Good writing, Namyh.

Alison – I find it amazing that most things start with an idea. I’ll bet when Romeo spoke love to Juliet, there was probably a poet around somewhere who overheard it and then wrote about it. Boom! Thanks for stopping in to enjoy Alison. Namyh .

This one needs to be read out loud "Boom!"


I love using "Boom" as a verbal exclamation point!  "One Good Idea" whoever thought of it!

Sue s – Now you’ve really put a rich and famous Boom! Boom! in my day with your words. Perhaps the presence of an idea in one person and the absence of an idea in another person and the behavior each exhibits as a result is the only real difference between people. Thanks for stopping by to enjoy Sue s. Namyh

Lhbob – After I had written and rewritten the entire poem, that ‘Boom’ was a last minute addition after watching the effects of a nuclear explosion on the Discovery Channel. Poets! Go figure! It seemed appropriate for the change ‘one good idea’ often produces for the character that acts on it. Boom! Glad you had fun enjoying.  Namyh
