Showering Thoughts Why is it that it takes wet, pounding water to make my mind work like it oughter? For the minute I find that the shower I’m in sets my head spinning on a poem that would win. Win what you ask? My acceptance, of course, words flee by faster than any race horse; they seem to follow the pounding beat as the shower’s rain hits me, drips to my feet. I’d take in a tape recorder, but know for a fact, my husband’d claim “yes, indeed, she’s done cracked” and pen, pencil or paper lose their meaning in a shower, indeed, I’d think I was dreaming! I’m not near good enough to hire a secretary and know for a fact, the person couldn’t be hairy, and any woman I know, well, that wouldn’t work for all women I know have their own poetic quirk. Now I know of indelible ink, and waterproof boards I could wear one around my neck, on a cord, but the next complaint I know I would hear is “hey, please leave me some hot water, dear!” So lament with me as the shower I leave wet grab a towel and quickly dry, lest I forget the words that are now leaving my brain dry probably won’t come back, till I have a good cry! ©KRJ 3 November 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine, Don't cry, they have an underwater writing board in the dive shops. I have the same trouble when I'm half asleep in fact I wrote a poem on it and if I can find it, I'll post it. It's called " I think." *L* By the way I liked your poem. [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 11-03-1999).] |

Very cute! Now that I think of it, I have some of my best ideas in the shower too! ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "To be great is to be misunderstood...." - Ralph Waldo Emerson |

This was a pleasure to read and I can relate, only I have the problem while I'm driving. |
