I Sold the World for a Lollipop
Poem About Life
Biting through the stagnant and feeling waves roll around my mouth
Finally reaching the soft sweet center where I can't hear anything but the predictable crunch and chew ringing in my ears
Someone asked me to forget all the things I learned today
And yesterday and everything before so I gave it all away
For a sugary bite of all that is bliss
In a nice colorful package with nothing to be fake about
And no reason to tell a lie
On a straight narrow stick standing still and lusciously high
Forgetting what I want and doing exactly what I should
I sold the world for a lollipop
And the lollipop taste good
Finally reaching the soft sweet center where I can't hear anything but the predictable crunch and chew ringing in my ears
Someone asked me to forget all the things I learned today
And yesterday and everything before so I gave it all away
For a sugary bite of all that is bliss
In a nice colorful package with nothing to be fake about
And no reason to tell a lie
On a straight narrow stick standing still and lusciously high
Forgetting what I want and doing exactly what I should
I sold the world for a lollipop
And the lollipop taste good

Post a CommentPlease read my poems titled "Sweet Blue Rain" and "Let's Make a Deal with the Devil" Both poems are good reads. Nikki, my problem is that, I want to learn how to write better poetry, but I get mental road blocks and I procrastinate. You know what I mean? I have so much to say and sometimes, Its difficult expressing and describing my experiences. Well, I want to remove this ball and chain from my creative mind. I have some good titles for new poetry, but I never take them out of the black box and unwrap them. Somehow, I enjoy writting poetry and I want say things effectively, with less word. Is this possible? I really like the way you have your blog site organized. Hope I can learn some of your website black magic, so I can look good so I can attract readers and make a positive contribution in this public forum. Nikki, my new poems are like birds with broken wings and I need to scoop them up and mend them, so they can fly.
Thanks Jeff! Knowing that, puts a smile on mine! :)
The poem put a smile on my face, and that's a good thing!
