In the dark

Just some nonesense I had to release

I chose darkness over light

because my good pair of shoes are black

and even if they haven't been polished since I bought them,

the mud they have collected makes a good foundation

for all of us to stand on

as we celebrate the return of the light

by a dimmer bulb shaped like an alien ice cream cone

because it saves energy,

which is exactly what I did

by not shining my shoes

in the dark

This is really creative, Will. I loved the metaphor, your writing always blows me away.

Quite a thought provoking piece. I think this is one of those poems that mean something different to each reader but either way, they will be able to relate.

I hope so...you never know, I'm still trying to figure out what it means. :) Thanks so much.

This was creatively put... An interesting metaphor. A lot of food for thought here. Thank you for sharing.

[willweb]

Thanks so much. It was a strange day. :)

[Falling Leaf.]

Most days feel like strange days. No trouble at all. :)

Such creative imagery, for a nonsense poem, Will. Really like your description for the CFBs. Got to be, one of the ugliest things, ever invented by humanity. Thanks for the smile, upon such a very dim day, north of the border. Remind me, I need to borrow your muse, for a poem or two.

Thanks Therisa...it really was just a collection of nonesense, my muse in this case was my warp brain. I'm not sure you want to borrow that.

[therisa]

Your welcome, Will. Your brain can't be any worse than mine. But nonsense has it own special place, in the world. Just look at Googol (Russian author, early 20th century), and his writings.

Sometimes gobbelygook is just good fun. We need to purge the word goo sometimes.:)

[willweb]

Thanks KL. Goo huh? I like that word.

I bet if you walked into a dark room you would light it up.
That's my whole review.

Well, it certainly is brighter in here now that you have stopped by for a visit. Thanks so much Ana for this huge bright smile I am now wearing. Now, where did I put my sunglasses.

An interesting collection of thoughts and images albiet with contradictions between the begining and the ending? And yes those energy saving bulbs do look weird!

[willweb]

Thanks John. This one just came out and I had no control over it whatsoever. That's my excuse.
