A Thread of Poems Instead…Write off the Top of the Head :)
December 14, 2007
By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com I just came upon a poet’s blog, the title was something about pie. I was remembering a fun thread at another site where the rule was you had to respond with a rhyme. So I’m gonna make this my “official” must-rhyme thread :)
I already squeezed the last drop of creativity outta my brain with the response on the poem-pie blog :) so I’ll start this thread with the response I posted there.
So whenever I feel a rhyme comin’ on, I’ll post it here. All rhyming responses welcome :)
==============
Ah, it’s after midnight, geez
Just had mustard and raw-milk cheese
Some dark chocolate to chase it
There’s something…I need to face it
But I’d rather surf and eat instead
I don’t really wanna go to bed
And then, oh-my, what do I spy
A blog of fine poem and fruit pie
No peach-n-crust for me at this time
But I have indeed enjoyed the rhyme :)

I wond4er as I sit
if my words
are worth spit
I wonder as I awake
what the day
will take
I spin between
the seen and the unseen
looking for time
to indulge in a rhyme
I call my lost life
the one without strife
the original whole
the seat of my soul
;) S.E.

Hey yay, SE wants to play! haha!
Well, um, I think my words are a delight
Even if sometimes they stir a bit of fright
‘Cause it seems we often have to shake
Before we rub those eyes and wake :)
I know, that strife, it does annoy
We should be having a lot more joy!
I’m so lucky, the Tarot is my toy
And-oh, my love for it, I can’t be coy
The seen and unseen, it’s all pure magic
Those who see none, it is so tragic
That ole veil that covers our eyes
But when it lifts, what a surprise! ;)
I need no faux Christmas to bring me cheer
Torn wrappings, plastic gifts, hidden fear
What’s one day, then sad the rest of the year?
Every day is a gift, to me, that is so clear
We rise to a new Christmas every single day
OUR rebirth, not Jesus, do you hear what I say?
The trees, a rose, the sun, even just one ray
True gifts abound — it takes my breath away
Peace,
Dove

Ah, my thread is kinda limp
And my joy, that does crimp
Feelin’ a need to use my noodle
Maybe go paint, draw or doodle
But-hey, this is a brand new year
And I’m feelin’ one filled with cheer
With lotsa laughter, goodness and love
Plenty and peace, hugs-n-kisses from Dove :)

Oh, it’s so gray and windy out there
I am startin’ to feel some despair
May do some of that frog totem stuff
To polish up from this bit of rough
Yeah, it would seem I need to cry
Ugh, geez, Oh-me, oh-my, why oh why (lol)
I’d rather just laugh, snub the rest
But I s’pose that’s not for the best
Why can’t it always be rosy and pink
That would be so lovely, don’t ya’ think?
But, if it was always day, and never night
Would that really make things oh-so right?
Oh! With that line, hey, I see some bright!
Yes, thru my window, a ray of sun — alright!
But off it went, so quick, to who knows where
And once again, my mind welcomes that despair
My electric power clicked off a bit earlier
Could my day possibly get any pearlier? (lol) ;)
I asked my Tarot and it said all was fine
It would be fixed in 30 minutes time
Then I called the company that has the power :)
They said they’d be on it within the hour
Losing power has a uniquely sobering effect
Lessons to be learned at this time, I suspect
Sun, power, no power, light, no light, dark
Life, how ’bout just a sunny day at the park? ;)
In half an hour, yep, again there was light
And out the window went my needless fright
It seems to all say, I need to go into the dark
Embrace it, release it, so the light it can spark
I still feel sad, need to cry, face all the bad
Breathe the fire, for a time, let myself go mad
Then rise from those burnt ashes, into the love
With new heart and freedom to just be…Dove :)
Peace,
Dove

[...] feelin’ pretty blue today and wrote a lengthy rhyme about it on my “Write Off the Top of the Head” thread. Was “drawing” some cards just now online and drew a version of the [...]

Why is it?
as I drive on a road
I duck from fear of being hit
an instinctive mode
or the swoop
of birds
a loop
against the herds
of mentality
I use
my reality
to avoid blowing a fuse
an experiment
this humanity?
a petri dish lent
a child’s frivolity?

Yay, SE’s back with more cool writin’
An awesome new rhyme, that’s excitin’ :)
He speaks of herds and birds, and a, duck? lol ;)
And I can relate, some things really suck
It goes against nature to be going so fast
If only we could get back THAT part of the past
Imagine, time to drink it all in, take it slow
But we can’t keep it up, this much I do know
Good gawd, it stuns me how much we miss each day
Staring at machines as time so quickly slips away
Lost in our madness, our box, at which we stare
Yet all around us, our “heaven” is everywhere
The awesome blue sky with clouds all white
A cool black sky of diamonds, what a sight
Sweet green trees with neat stuff called bark
Rich dark soil, seeds, and magic it does spark
And oh-ma-gawd, the birds, they fly, they sing!
All the amazing creatures, we have everything :)
A stranger’s smile, a lover’s passionate kiss
It is “all in our mind,” and we can choose bliss
A velvety rose, heh, a puppy’s sweet face
Lordy, how can ya’ not love this place ;)
Peace,
Dove

Brrr, outside, it’s icy cold
I took a walk, I was bold ;)
The sky is all foggy and gray
Fightin’ feelin’ the same way
Saw a redbird, a good sign
Blew away my need to whine
With its oh-so-sweet song
As his wife peeped along
Dancing all about her mate
My blues it did so abate :)
The winged ones are my sun
Keep me from coming undone
There for me, without fail
Assuring me, I will prevail
Peace,
Dove
