LOL! Love this. Sometimes you just have to NOT make sense and make SILLY. Loosens up all the cobwebs.

This was fun. Love the fella in the picture. He's seem quite content to just hang around.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'.... Jax (*:*)

I recognise so well what you are describing. When words flow I don't want to stop them and put down my pen. It makes up for all the times I sit in front of a blank page. Well rhymed!

Kind regards

Sarah

Hi Carolyn,

I'm watching Dylan today and showed him the picture for your poem. He said, "Monkey". He loved the picture. I read you poem out loud to him and got some laughs from your completely silly work. Sooooo cute!

Thanks Kat,
I am so glad to hear Dylan came to visit and that you both got a laugh out of the picture. Happy you enjoyed the poem.
Love, Carolyn

Yes, I might be watching him again! I love it when he's around.

I think we all feel like this now and then. Whenever I get trapped in the concept of fame, I remember that it is the one person who is elevated by a few silly words I write embodies all the fame will ever need for that is the legacy that endures. This is a wonderful piece of inspiration even if it was meant to be silly. Nicely done and I thank you so much for sharing it with me.

You're right, this is silly, but I smiled all te way through. Can't be a bad thing.
That orangutan looking down at the poem brings on the smile a bit too.
The rhythm of this is the key. It rolls along beautifully as you read it from the page.
The message is simple enough, you feel forced to write what the muse tells you to. Ain't it always the way?
A SPAG alert: But what have I too lose ...to lose
Loved the last verse in particular:
Don't stop me now
I'm definitely on a roll
Don't stop me now
I'm only writing what I'm told

Hi Carolyn. Yes . . . all the time. Its a game I play while I'm waiting for a notion to enter the little grey cells, hadn't ever thought of it as poetic, just fun. I loved your

I often thin like that Carolyn, if it wasn't God telling me to stop being silly, it's not about you, dont listen to those silly voices, they are just trying to slow you down! I loved this little musing effort, even your 'wild thing muse' is still skilful and worth reading, my dear friend, most enjoyable. Blessings, Roy

Love to all ,

Comment from garrymc5

Good

Very a musing.
Second line: I'm getting on a roll --omit getting, but reconstruction for rhythm.
'I'm writing what I'm told ' --sorry...no rhythm

It needs reworking to take the good bits, reorder and built.
This stanza
'Inspiration I guess
Could be blamed for this mess
But then who's to blame
When I never gain fame' works best.
The 'Don't stop me now' also works, making it impetuous and fast.
Good. But keep working on it.
