Scattered Thoughts

Talking to myself again
A habit people hate
But seems without self dialogue
It’s hard to postulate

So I am usually quite entwined
In deepest self debate
But then I’m so amazed at the
Conclusions I create

The edge I gain with this device
I cannot overstate
Though others find me kind of wierd
I think it’s really great

The mind’s debate of solid theories
It may  formulate
Takes a lot of time, my friends
That’s why I’m always late


Some Thoughtered Scats

Postulating time
Cut in half with short Haiku
Now always on time

Conclusions come fast
No time for self dialogue
Nor to even think

No postulating
Leaves more time for fantasy
And pretty phrases

Haiku is too short
Except to be beautiful
There is no purpose

Liz,
excellent thoughts, excellent twists.

Did you know that ppl with convoluted minds are more intelligent.

Be well

Who could resist a title like that? *G* Not I!!!! At least when you're talking to yourself, you're having an intelligent conversation... this is great! *S*

Loved Suthern's line above LOL  

"Who said that?" .. "I did!" .. "Stop typing!" .. "No!" .. "Just tell Liz you enjoyed the read!" .. "OK, just shhhhh, and let me type!"

I thoroughly enjoyed this Liz! From one self-talker to the next ... if ya get tired of talking to yourself, I'm always here, LOL! Wonderful thoughts and excellent Haikus/Senryus!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

My mind might be a little twisted
And quite convoluted
I hope this doesn't mean that I
Will soon be instituted
Thanks, dear, my head is spinning at the "intelligent"

Suthern, Another "intelligent" Wow! THanks. I never thought of myself that way.
Thanks, sweet lady

Kit,
That could get a bit confusing with four talking at the same time. I'll talk to you later as soon as I'm finished with my self-dialogue
Thanks, my twin

Margie, my dear
It doesn't take a crazy grandma to get you inspired
All you do is get up in the morning
I think you even dream in poetry
Thanks for indulging in this convoluted friend

   well, somehow this one got past
   me on the first time around, but
   i'm loving it now.  
   i think it needs another trip
   to the top.
