This poem is a patterned poem inspired by the creative spaces hidden deep with each of us; a villanelle.

My poems are written for your enjoyment and my freedom. I'd love to discuss them with you.

Excerpt from: In the Playhouse of My Mind Volume I, Circle of Life Trilogy

 

                    IN THE PLAYHOUSE OF MY MIND

                    I'm hiding in the playhouse of my mind.
                    I seek to lose my worries, to take flight.
                    And there I will escape all humankind.

                   The thoughts upon my furrowed brow aligned
                    Are naughty, nasty, pure as ol' Snow White
                    I'm hiding in the playhouse of my mind.

                   The world can seek me, but it will not find.
                    Ideas vague become at once forthright
                    And there I will escape all humankind.

                    Emotions surface. I'm no longer blind.
                    I bravely face them, setting them aright.
                    I'm hiding in the playhouse of my mind.

                    In adult space I am no more confined.
                    The child within steps forth to solve my plight.
                    And there I will escape all humankind.

                   The images engraved give peace of mind
                   Ballooning, lifting me in sheer delight.
                   I'm hiding in the playhouse of my mind
                   And there I will escape all humankind.

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
