Around the Corner and Off the Deep End

Being a tad loopy has always worked out pretty well for me. It enhances and excuses the creative output, whatever that might be, and makes me feel a little more at ease about all of those weird dreams I tend to have each and every night–why, what real harm can they do, anyway? So I’ve become quite accustomed to living with my oddities and even embracing them. (No, I’m not referring to my friends and loved ones.) (Though I do very gladly embrace you all, never fear.)

On that note, a few absurd little ditties shall be fired off in your direction forthwith, to wit:

Little Miss Bride of Frankenstein

I hate to brag, or is that, whine?

But let’s just face it, this here scar

Is uglier and is by far

More showy and impressive than

The accident where it began

mixed media on paperAll for One or None for All

       I think there is no better place

       Than school for the whole human race

To see just how extremely dumb

Supposed thinking folk become

       Who study, yet fail to embrace

The notion that we are, from birth,

Just citizens of one whole earth,

       Not central, magical or best,

       Or totally unlike the rest,

Except perhaps as cause for mirth.

Wilma, with her dental plate

Encrusted with what she just ate,

Attracts both censure and some flies,

But also Isidore’s blue eyes;

Now, lest you think him over-kind,

Know that he’s old and wholly blind,

And since our Wilma’s likewise cased,

She likes him for his lack of taste.

    • Not at all, my dear, not at all! Excellent poetic response. Sucking only applies to not trying! Or possibly, to a couple of famous poets who shall here remain nameless. What with me being the incredible expert and all. 😀

  1. Amazed to hear you have weird dreams because it means you find time to sleep! Your output is so prolific; poems, art, photography and well thought out daily blog posts that I wondered if you were beavering away at something creative each hour of each day.

    • You give me too much credit–which I’m happy to take! I have no shame. Heh, heh. 😉

      Funny that I got this note from you after yet another night full of really nutty dreams . . .

  2. I loved them all dear Kathryn, you are so creative. Your poetical spirit is amazing. Fascinated me your creative world. It is all of art, photography, poetry, and well experienced and observed life. Thank you, Blessing and Happiness, with my love, nia
