In the dark...

Sometimes I would rather be in the dark...


Poem Artwork

Turn off the light
Blow out the candles
Snuff out the fire
Let me be in the dark
In the dark
You can see better
You can imagine life
The way you want to
And that can mean
You make up your own ending
And that ending can dance and sing
Or run and jump
Perhaps have some zing
So don't be worried
If your light is not on
It is in the dark
That your best ideas spring

Rusty,
You have a good point. I start with a title and assume it will be goofy or silly or have a humorous bent and then I write the darn thing, shall I say...whatever comes out of me comes out of me. This is my method and I don't go back to change the category or ever think about doing that. cha ching...but I guess it can be considered DARK HUMOR...cha chingaling.

The poem is labeled as humor but me thinks you have pointed out a serious truth. Perhaps we can see better in the dark sometimes.

You shine light on how your thoughts are enhanced in the dark free of all distractions. Well done poet.

This write is so full of wisdom, Lynn. You are right on target -- our best ideas come when we are totally relaxed, totally unaware of our surroundings, so we might as well be sitting in a dark room. How clever, how astute, are your findings, my friend. Well done and a pleasure.
Love,
CJ
