They call me mad. They say i have no right to toss words like salads-- garnished with seasonings of tears and emotion, sprinkled with perfect rhyme and a dash of meter to bring out the flavor--
And they call me drunk. They sadly shake their heads as they watch me stumble-- tripping over dangling part i ci ples and my pen, slipping in ink puddles left from yesterday's pain 'til i'm soaked to the skin--
They say i'm naive. They say my dreams and hopes should not be placed in words-- but words are an escape words allow me to fly to new heights of wonder i discover myself rising above it all--
Go, Karla!! Enjoy the adrenalin rush and KNOW that he who dares wins... have to quote good old Browning again: "Ah, but a man's reach exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?"... you take us - and yourself! - there, Lady! Write on: this is a glorious lift-off. Nothing to be afraid of, girl! :)) TY Kate xx
