Crazy Like Me

Gypsy in my soul, mother in my heart

                                                    ...poet in my mind

tiny dancer,

              dancing to the rhythm of your words,

                           sweet music of pen prancing on paper

                                                               we crash into each other

purging all our happiness and woes

                                                 ... for all the world to see

I think you're a little bit crazy, just like me....

this is you. This is what I'd want you to be described to me as. wherever I go this Frieda will be remembered. A gypsy in her ways with a loving soul :P a mother and a poet by heart and mind. Basically Crazy like me :D I'm all those things, unfortunately i can't be a mother, ha.

[Frieda P]

Awh Kee, that's the sweetest sentiment ever, thanks so much! mwah x

blue jean baby. l a lady. seamstress for the band.....well, that's where you took me with tiny dancer. nicely penned, dear posy. this is somewhat of a departure for you, n'est pas?

[Frieda P]

What are you trying to say quin, I don't usually dance on the page?

[quinfinn]

i am saying that this both dances and sings, my dear posy. no music video accompaniment necessary.

[Frieda P]

Oooo, I'd dance but it would hurt at the moment xo

[Pax]

oh, i see the wit and cleverness in this ;) ~ often times, i can be crazy as messy...
your words is dancing the rhythmic dance of waltz ;)

[Frieda P]

Wanna dance? ;-)

[Pax]

[Pax]

[Frieda P]

Nah, just dance like nobody's watching...I tend to lead anyway ;-)

[Pax]

[Frieda P]

[Pax]

This is true...we all dance across the page in one form or another; showing parts of ourselves through our words that are highly personal and emotional. Crazy...I don't know if I'd go that far, but definitely "touched". :)

[Frieda P]

One woman's touched is another's crazy...thanks Friday, always a pleasure hearing from you. ;-)

[Horizon K.]

I love this!!! It resonates with me... Writing poetry to be free. One of my writer friends recently said something to me like, we are all a little bit crazy, and if we get it out by writing about it, perhaps we can remain sane...

[Frieda P]

Haha that ship sailed a long time ago, but good luck to you Horizon! Thanks :-)

[Horizon K.]

Haha... Isn't crazy... Relative?

[Frieda P]

My relatives, all of them! ha ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

Holy cats, lady, that first line just smacked me upside the head, I was like, hello me, meet me...that was awesome! A lot said in this pithy piece; great stuff.

[Frieda P]

Wait...who was that, me or you, now I'm confusseled! ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

And all discombobulated even ;-)

[Frieda P]

I'm starting to see your reflection when I look in the mirror or it's the Bellvedere...ha ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

xD

[jacob erin-cilberto]

wow this is perfect...a poet will say this to someone with whom he or she relates..."you are crazy like me"

and you my friend...are much more than just "a poet in your mind"

you are a poet in the mind of anyone who takes the time to read you.

[Frieda P]

Awh jacob, you just put a huge smile on my face!

[Frieda P]

[Frieda P]

[PP]

They are see through!!! They cover all of it and they cover none at all!

[Rita L. Sev]

Your poem has made me smile on this Saturday morning - seems like you expelled the demons of yesterday's piece, and are left feeling free and happy. Love the form. Absolutely adore the universal conclusion - basically, if you are here, reading this, you share in my insanity! Excellent!

[Frieda P]

Hahaha, well dontcha? Thanks Rita!

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, indeed, I do! ;P

[Sami Khalil]
