my thoughts

my thoughts shimmy and shake
through imagination’s breeze
like freshly washed sheets

on a swaying clothes line
they sing a song of life
in six part
                or is that six heart
harmony
doing a dilly dally waltz
shamelessly naked in the rain
they scribble profundities
in the humid late afternoon air
and I…an innocent bystander to it all
dance through the deluge of raining
                       or is that reigning
words
delighted to be a part of it all

This poem speaks so much to me of our delight in our own unrestrained thoughts and feelings and our words, so truly in control. We never know which twist or turn they may take, yet we are blissed to be a part of the creative process. Amazing thought penned superbly by you. I am very elated reading this lovely poem .

dear Lydi🌞 having just purchased a
lovely supply of wooden clothes pins,
I can joyously appreciate your play
on words. Hanging clothes on a line is
a dance in periwinkle time. My Mom and I
dried our baby's diapers "on-line". My
granddaughter Maddie may buy her baby's
diapers "on-line". Your poetry is as fresh and
sunny as all outdoors. truly, Pat

My mom and I would solve all the world's problems while hanging freshly washed sheets on the line. Nice memories! Thank you so much for your review, Pat. Lydi**

It is part of our childhood... a way of life... Scurrying to get them inside before it rains...

Words are fun, the ability to use them as you have to entertain us, to bring back memory to me of when I hung freshly washed sheets on the line, maybe even taking time to think of hours "between the sheets" while enjoying some shimmy and shake moments. Six heart seems more appropriate to me, harmony while doing a dilly dally waltz while being a real dilly. Yes, words, wonderful words allows us to be whatever we want, to be where we want, endless opportunities, absolutely endless! Now, it's time for me to end the "it" of the words! LOL They reign!

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here....I just love the way you get into the meaning of my poems, Sheila. thank you so much. Lydi**

[David Scott]

My mind lit up with sparkles of inspiration upon reading this delightful poem!

You weaved metaphors into a needlework of expressiveness. Gorgeous work!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks very much, David. May your inspiration lead you to write more. Lydi**

probably six heart harmony and reigning....those words have that power over us...we are ruled by them.

and i often feel like a bystander....the words come with the breeze...and i write them...as if i were hanging myself out on that clothes line...never sure from which direction came that breeze or the words.

We are ruled by words....and it is just fine with me. I would vote them into office in any election! :) Thanks for the review, Jacob. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i would vote for them too...and am just fine too with being ruled by them...i really have no choice...i gave in a long time ago to their dictation.

[Lydia Shutter]

Resistance is futile! :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Sometimes it is nice to stop and enjoy it all -- whatever that "It" may be.

[Lydia Shutter]

Words....it's all about the words for me. Thanks, KL. Lydi**
