in the shadows

I feel like I am wading in a tide pool of clichés,  
trapped within the currents,
left without a chance,
up to my eyes in all the ways
words choose whimsically to dance
and mingle
like the errant willful thought threads that they are,
scattered by a dragon wind’s caprice,
within the mistral’s seductive tingle
the spiteful wind that strews them near and far
while I hang on for my dear life;
my soul keeps spinning like a top.
Dear gods
please help me
I am rhyming
and can’t find a way to stop.

oh, but your rhyming always says so much
no, we don't want you to cut it off

The soul sings, dear icebox, with happiness when it remembers "things" and there where those "things" live everything starts and ends perfectly in sync.  Here in this time we could perhaps call it rhyme so don't knock it just yet - wait for the results but don't pre-empt them by a maybe misguided thinking process. Got a penny for me now?

Rhyming is a sign of insanity?

grin

I-am-in-sooooooooooooo-much-trouble.

Is there a pill for that?

c'mere you

I've been here before, and I happen to know the way out. ---->this way

Sometimes the only way out is through.

Hope you brought extra socks.

Man, now you made me laugh there icey, at the end and I was sitting here with my face all scrunched up and serious . . .

You need "Runny Babbit" (Shel Silversteins's new book)

No kidding . . . mind blowing.

Gave me a much needed smile tonight...

Shel has a new book?...
I really must find myself a life...
