Every so often, one needs to clear ones attic of cobwebs. Sometimes the way to do that is to write sheer, utter nonsensical stuff. So, the object here, is to write nonsensical, stuff. Compose the first thing that comes into your mind, no matter how strange it feels to you. |

I'll bite - but Warning, Warning, Jack Robinson.... - it's a repost of one that I would, indeed, rename as a flight of Whimsey. ~*~ I want to fall up come with me, let’s fall up and not into something deep I think it’s time to do it different before we go to sleep for if we fall up, and play in clouds what a treat we’d find all our problems now ant-size all bad habits left behind fall up with me, not in love with me you don’t even have to be in like with me but if you come fall up with me wouldn’t that be heavenly? Come let’s talk to angels, and help them in the choir now I don’t have much of a voice but if you sing bass, I’ll sing higher… and let’s make faces out of clouds of animals or some such things and while we play our game just right let’s whip up some sun-rings since we’re here, let’s grab God’s ear and tell him how pleased we are for this imagination he’s given us c’mon with me, let’s fall up this far! What is this? You don’t want to play and fall up with me to far away? and you’d toss my dreams to reality? for the truth you’d rather see? But can’t you see? There, in the skies where up and up is in the blue? why don’t you try just once with me and let me fall up with you. Circa, 30 November 2000 repost for a friend... |

d-s Although I need to clear the cobwebs, I'll opt out with a repost also. If Sunshine can then so can I...right? Here ya go: A Super Sunday Snow has captured the mountains and down the canyons it breaths into the empty city streets around the cement and bricks of Sunday at three The sky is a dull gray and from the house of stone across the street with door open I hear loud shouts and cheers that echo around the branches of the naked trees I race across the lawn and throw myself down hands gripping the legs of my startled husband trying to get into the super bowl mood but the lawn streaks my light blue jeans green and he falls with a loud thud into the rose bush and the mood is not good I look back across the street as loud curses flip across the parked pick up trucks and bounce across the street as I sit on the damp ground with my moaning man who is looking at me now with a look that feels like he caught whatever had been thrown This seems like a good thing to do to sit here as the afternoon breathes that cool air and listen to the human sounds that start a chaos of dogs barking down the alley and across the street into the village Listen I say to his almost smile the one that is playing now as I take his hand and pull him toward me as we both sit perfectly still while through the neighbor’s window on a giant screen the blurred game is played |

Well... This was the first thing that came to mind, so here you go  Chocolate Chocolate that beautiful delight It melts in your mouth With heart rendering fright It tastes so luscious You can't get enough The colors galore Amazing for sure White, light, it's all a delight It comes in squares, circles, and stairs Eat till you bust It's a buffet till your stuffed Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate The special high of my life Let us eat and eat For that chocolate must rest Yes, rest my dear friends It must stay in my tummy for the "rest" of its life!  @-->--- |

This seems fun I'll try it.. This happiness inside my soul Is something i've never felt before From this happiness, i'm flying without wings Right now I can never do anything wrong This journey doesn't seem so long I'm acually excited to see another day I await for arms that are opened up wide I can now see my light shine Because of this happiness inside |

Thought I'd try this... The keyboard in my hands Likes to play and dance. It runs away from my fingers. I spell with oft the wrong letters. When my laptop was new, Every letter worked. But now it's been a while And a couple have been jerked... My Q hardly works. |

Picking through the words I popped a big one into my mouth and savored its meaning. And as it melted down into my body I was eagerly reaching for some more. My father's old college dictionary fells like candy in my hands. And I don't want to share it with you. composed at 7:09pm today. |
