A Young Visionary

You can be a visionary, for you often have more ideas about tomorrow than information about today. This is a good time to connect with other big thinkers to share ideas about how to create a better future. This might not be an exercise in practicality, but it does paint some beautiful pictures that can inspire you.


Poem Artwork


Beautiful pictures inspire me
From days gone amid wisdom to share
For teachings of old that appeared neglected
Seemed wiser from thoughts in my head
I never was much on attention
While daydreams acted their role
The teacher would clout all the facts for us kids
While thinking for me was much bolder
I'd hear her off in the distance
Seemed she rapped with marvelous applause
In my head just as she was teaching
I'd mentor aloud... just because
The class would all roar in laughter
Then bring me back to my feet
Embarrassed and red from this lesson
I was offered the floor to teach
With yardstick held over my shoulders
I'd glamorize her rule of thumb
End up with the attention of many
Then sent to the corner a Dunce
She'd catch my attention by banging her fist
Upon her oak desk with a sway
I'd offer up as a visionary
Give more information that way
I knew I'd missed what she taught me
Bowed head condesending in sorrow
Then I'd have the last word...so help me God
With ideas just for tomorrow
Afterall I was a visionary
With much wiser thinking than many
A Pisces of eager perception
A dreamer from many demensions
A kid just thinking in poetry
A blonde with freckles enmass
Smart as a whip...so help me God
Then offer "Ya can all kiss my ass".

Strong and beautiful words, and determination make up a mystery woman, but I have lived with such a personality, I'll give you a shorter version of your majestic poem, telling us in no uncertain... just who the hell you are: REBLE, first, last and always, but damned effective and lovable as they come! Whatawoman!

Well said, and are we so far off today because of it. I think not. Don't you just want to send all those teachers our work and say "yep, thanks for the memories". Lady J

This is so real & powerful - Frustrated in school beyond words{ except for these words} - Quit for half a year played music & regrouped - Then doubled up to finish in time---PS; There are some people you don't want to be kissed by & Walking away on your own path is enough of a vision for them to remember - While keeping my dignity & pants on - -{Beautiful-Wonder-filled-Woman you are} - Love <>Ted
