Nonsense

I didn't think, I just wrote

jam and cakes and feeling the brakes

horsell down the meander run

it fell, and broken shards no fun

wrestled the minds, twist til done.

Heart heard what she spoke

bones fell and then broke

even done the middle pink

whatever sizzling minds will think.

If dower tower flower power

were ruled in skied dark fire

Then walrus eyes red read coals

desire rests in those folds

I would speak, but mists are clear.

I wouldn't dream of taking,

that snow peak,with indecent fear

she couldn't seam the making.

Woo, son, you took mumma on a little trip down to see Alice and back again, LOL. xD This is a great write, Mark - I loved it.

Haha as long as she didn't give you any of her pills! :P

[Mockingbird]

got high from reading this wonderful piece. sounds like hippie erotica. great job.

[Mark]

haha. some chronic would be good. But I'm subject to randoms so I don't take a chance like that often. :) Thanks for reading.

[Kristin Lee]

Interesting free write. Almost like a trip through wonderland :)

[ANTO]

I got a feeling of barbequed Barbara from this Mark. You haven't have you...!!
No this is right up my street Mark, its as if you had three poems in your mind and they gelled into one like a mimusops (which is a rarely used word for 3 poems in 1 - buy 3 get 3 kind of thing)

[Mark]

That is very possible. I wrote without conscious thought, and quite often I have to tear apart my work because it will start one place and migrate to somewhere else! Mimusops!

[icelandicblue]

It flowed beautifully though I understood not I liked the way it sounded.

[Mark]

well thank you! I think that is more than enough. :)

[Angi]

There are clear thoughts here in the nonsense, Mark. I see a woman or women my sizzling mind thinks. This flows well and is fun to read aloud. My husband just yelled, 'What the hell is THAT one supposed to mean?!' when I finished reading. (He regularly says that when I read him poetry) Ha! Angi~

[Mark]

Well, he has good cause with this one heehee Thanks Angi :)

I think if someone asked me to interpret this I would say, "Don't have sugary soda and Jolly Rancher's candy afores bedtime." :)

As for interpretation, I will do my best:
[1] Pastry cart has rolled out of control
[2] Proud woman fell down and broke her pelvis looking too high in the sky
[3] Creatures of the North Pole are angry for our global warming
[4] Snow-skiing snow-blindness

And do you mean, "seam" or "see ?"

[Mark]

haha... I have no idea what it meant, so your explanation is as good as any! Better than mine I'm sure. :) seam... it came out seam..

[Mark]

oh.. btw... I don't eat sugar :)

[dw817]

Well let's see, they both rhyme. Seams Dreams.

While we sleep deep in our beds
Living the dreams within our heads.
A mystic maiden comes to watch us slumber
She protects us from our thoughts of thunder.
And when we are filled with wondrous dreams
She keeps us on Earth by pulling on the seams.

[Mark]

very nice~! :

[dw817]

I need to learn this other style of rhyming where every other word rhymes. I haven't gotten the knack for that yet. And yes, I fully believe some of my dreams are so intense they call down a brigade of these curious maidens to hold me down. And then again - it could just be the chemicals in my head. :)

[Mark]

Faith is a strong power. Whatever you believe can be true.

[dw817]

Welp, Tinkerbell hasn't visited me yet, I had faith she would. I think I asked her to when I was 11-years old, so she's long overdue - maybe she got her wings caught in a turbine jet from a 747 ? Hard to say at this point. :)

[Mark]

Ya, but the faith has to be rooted in your hippocampus I think. That's hard to do.

[dw817]

Since when do hippos need to go to a school campus ? *Grin* No, that's fine, I know what you mean here. Actually my imagination is pretty good which is why I'm on meds. No - I did dream of her times, and she said - well - some disturbing things that my doctor especially wanted to know about.

But - that's in the past, the day is almost done and someone somewhere has dynamited another post. I can't help wonder if it's because answers are not forthcoming or what. Time for me to heat up a nice hot cup of tea and relax from it all tho. :)

[Mark]

I believe that some day we will all realize that we decide what reality is. And then look out.

[dw817]

I have had a very powerful dream about, "Waking up" one time. And it was more vivid and real than the reality we experience today. At some point I'll write that in here. It was called, "Message for my Father" cause the fellow I met there had a message for my Dad before he died.

[Mark]

I would like to read that. I don't remember my dreams. Sometimes I remember them right when I wake up but by the time I'm fully awake I've forgotten them .

[dw817]

You should get yourself one of those cool audio recorders. They've gone down in price. I know my Dad used to have one but it was like $500. Now they're only $50 and stuff. Get one where you can transfer the audio from a USB to your computer and you can add music tracks too. :)

I have over 300+ dreams of audio me waking up in the night and speaking into it, and I started a dream diary in Xanga - over time I'll port those here perhaps.

[Mark]

interesting idea. I've thought about getting one of those for recording my writing ideas while I drive. (Kinda hard to write and drive a semi at the same time).

[dw817]

Nono, save it for SLEEP. When you wake up in the night, say at 2-3am or so, you hit the record button and speak into it, give enough details of your dream so you'll remember the whole thing later. Usually one sentence will get it. Then go back to sleep.

If you wanna use it for ideas tho, you can always use a velcro sticky mount thingie. It has the the grabbers on one sticky side, maybe put that on the inside of your car. And the other has loopy grabbers on their sticky side. Put that on the back of your recorder. Then just STICK it to the side like the dashboard and you're all set to record and keep both hands on the wheel. :)

[Mark]

ya, I use velcro for my clipboard. I'll look for a phone app. That'd work without spending the $50 and having yet another device to keep track of!

[dw817]

That's true, there are so many apps for cellphones nowadays. I've had my cellphone stolen so many times and my mailbox broken into additionally to get my mail-order phone I've given up trying to order a new one.

I hadda really cool Batman one that was given to me as a gift and that one got stolen too.

i just love "nonsense"...well done Mark...perfect!

[Nia Hope]

Well even though it seemed like nonsense it had a nice flow and gave my some interesting images great job

[Oceana]

This reminds me of Jabberwocky in how fun it read and easily it flowed. But I think there's a bit more meaning here than there was in Jabberwocky. Love it!
