I wrote a poem day before yesterday...wahaha, its very playful. I don't think i used some words correctly but hey! i had fun! It was really early in the morning, like 5am malaysian time or something, 2am aus time...the heat had woken me and I couldn't get to sleep...so here it is!
Romantic Imagination
it seems
is captured in abnormally shaped leaves
which spin as they fall
to the threshold of dreams
and float through the thoughts
spilling colour through split seams
Now continue to wonder
forget common sense
(which is not so much sense as just common)
Pick up a leaf
examine with care
or else gather them together to
throw into the air
chew on them for juices of one of a kind tastes
or stick them in your ears or nose
to hear and smell a delightful propose!
Rub them on your fingers
squish them between your toes
and discover how your phalanges learn to compose!
Now if you were to let them lay
to digest them, reject them
then wash them away,
dispise not the ones who let their leaves grow
for their hope is more than you'll ever know!
Life ain't gonna get any better. You are.

Is this a poem about romance? Or leaf eating? I relate to both of them on about the same level, having done neither in many years.
ReplyDeleteno, not romance, i just think that imagination is romantic, just cos if you let it take control, its not very controlled and it sweeps you off your feet and leaves you breathless if you let it...
ReplyDeletewahahaha!
