Strange

Strange is odd and
so am I
bizarre, no question
outlandish, no lie

eccentric in mind, I wish to evolve;

weird is contempt; this my resolve;

extraordinary is a word
perhaps to my favor
peculiar
is one that perhaps
needs a savior

curious this mind when all
need but glance;
and queer is my liking
when given the chance;
perplexed can be
this given of sum
and foreign a concept; yet
you’ve been given none;
alien are views
which cannot think free; and
exotic are whims which cannot
just let be

novel are approaches when given a word

like “strange” in a title;

why, This “it” can be

absurd.

Karilea,

You've expanded on "Strange" so very well here and I really enjoyed it that you integrated rhyme here.

Well done.

Contemplatively unique!  Now I wonder what was the catalyst for this piece...

By the way, you poem to Elizabeth Santo was exquisite and lovely.  ~Klassy

You continue to stretch the envelope called Karilea.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
