~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

up on the hill there is an old log cabin

a den of broken windows
obscured with a dim timeless film

the roof is in disrepair and falling in
the pathway leading to the front door
is worn and faded

no voice controls the air
only windy ghosts
roam the atmosphere

no one lives inside
only madness echoes inside its hollow rooms

almost everyone in town remembers the family
who were chased down by dreams of doom

even children whisper
about a seemingly happy bunch
who became tormenters to one another

where mayhem and lunacy
like red pond water
flowed from the bottoms of broken vases

where wilted flowers still scream in horror

everyone avoids the landscape
yet there is still a frightful fascination
how lunacy can control even “good folks”

whose sanity was never in question
but whose questions still remain unanswered

Hey Jude,
We all need a little bit of insanity in our lives, otherwise how would we know when we are feeling sane!!!
I tend to feel other people's insanity and thank the stars that I am for the most part sane! Of course don't ask me that sanity question when I am in tech week with one of my shows, then I think I must be insane! lol
Peace light and love,

Amber

Insanity doesn't just run in my family, it strolls through slowly and touches each and every one of us in a manner differently than the next...sanity does not in my family even or did it ever exist...you drew me in with the name of the poem as it is the abreviation for my home town, "sic", (Sea Isle City)...enjoyed reading and for the most part understanding this one, Bob...-e-

Jerry said it in his review! And I agree with Regis, this made me 'see' what you were writing. That's when you know something is good.

Without insanity, there really is no sanity, simply being the yin and the yang of the same. We are all intrigued and usually frightened by that which is different from our norm. You brought this into the forefront with your provocative offering, Jude.

Oh hell yeah, Jude, sanity and insanity can live side by side until insanity one day . . . decides to assert itself . . .
