...from someone that has ridden the short bus a great deal...


Poem Artwork

Did you ever get the feeling that you wanna write, but can’t get it down,
I have a desire to write something intellectual but don’t seem able to think,
Then my mind tells me that I don’t have the intelligence to write like that,
Or maybe it is my self-confidence that is lacking,
Or maybe, to be honest, my mind and thoughts together are slacking…

I know a great deal of my problems seem to come from deep within,
But can I bring them to the surface to rid them from my intellections,
I don’t seem able to even have a decent with myself conversation,
I’m gonna have to take up a hobby, maybe making bathtub gin or playing a violin…

Sorry about my rambling through the briars of my mind, here,
But afterall that was kind of the idea of this short example of what,
From my mind I do sometimes listen to and hear,
Oh what the hell, I guess I just have a loose wing nut…

I will stop spouting fumes of nonsense now & let you get back to the literary intelligentsia…

I will simply say "ditto" to what the others have stated. I don't think my tow bits' worth would add anything "wise." Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Ed. Love and peace to you,

Everyone needs a hobby or two,
Forget the gin - make some brew (or moonshine, or wine)

No briars in my mind, just cobwebs and empty space.

A loose wing nut, or whatever you call it, works for me! It could be all those cells that were overpowered by all those chemicals like alcohol, that have a way of losing their edge with age.

In defense, you are writing much better than I've ever seen you write in the past year.

About that bus...looks like it was 20 feet long, then met an immovable object, and wham!...it's a 6 footer. It could be my
failing eyesight. :)

There are whole libraries full of dry, often boring, intellectual. We can go there when ever we like.
What we seek is the unexpected, the unique and originality. You have plenty of that.

Hey! What you write is gut-feeling. Intellectual? The hell with Intellectual, write who you are . . .
