Tic Tac Toe

 

Like tic tac toe

Everyday is a draw.

Mixing oil and water

Is the poor heart’s version

Of a rainbow.

So green becomes

The new red

Till you are on borrowed dime.

Seeing the whole

In the ozone layer

As the stairway to heaven

Is the religion

You baptized by fire

So lightening can strike

More than once.

Rain produces the puddle

To see your true reflection,

Then the sun dries it up

To show the true meaning

Behind your shadow,

“Dreams and thoughts unshared

         are just packaged seeds.”

Kick a*s piece of work.

[Daniielle7]

This is awesome. My favorite lines are the last few. I could really picture this!

[Poetic Beauty]

The last two lines are profound thought. I believe we should share our dreams and strive to achieve them. This is a stunning poem and yes each day is like drawing a card from a deck. You never know what could happen so I say make it a fresh start.

whoa!!!!!!!!!!“Dreams and thoughts unshared
are just packaged seeds.”

there is so much here...

first off, i love the strategic simplicity and easy to follow game of tic tac toe!

seeing the x or the o not as a hug and kiss but of oil and water...double whoa!

holy double h E hockey sticks with the baptized by fire! to me it means the power of influence to submit and keeping those organizations in power by allowing them to be our reflection instead of the true one

Behind our shadow are our dreams but fears of exploring that shadow never set us free to dream...

“Dreams and thoughts unshared
are just packaged seeds.”
The above words are true wisdom. When we don't reach for dreams and live in regret. Life can become a dead end journey. Thank you for the amazing poem.

Remember to stock up on packaged seeds in case on the end of the world. There's just an ever so slight sarcastic tone I found amusing. You spin quite an image here.

[Jack Isaac]

The longest phrase I ever read! --so well done and well put. And you did include the hole in the ozone rather than use a song and dance of global warming --long applause! Nice work!

[Daytonight]

So very well done. Keep up the great work!

[Ruth]

So poignant honey..we all need to dream together, stand united, not divided...lest the sun will dry up all hope ey?!
Beautiful piece xoxo

[Hayley]

I like the way you carried through the colors and the metaphor in the piece. I can't exactly think of the words that would describe what this means to me and my interpretation as to give it proper justice(because it is extremely well done!), so I'll just say that I loved it! Hope all is well with you, by the way. I shall be back to catch up on your works soon :)
