These are some of my favorite one liners from years past that I’ve never written poems around. Maybe now that I’ve got a bit more time to write, I’ll be able to pull a few poems together. : )
Stop craning your electronic necks, there’s nothing to see here.
Look at life through the eyes of another
and you may see things as you haven’t seen them before
but you still can never see just what they see.
Some of the things experience teaches us aren’t true.
I wanted to wash my heart, hot/cold, heavy duty cycle.
I wanted to open my mind and let all the facts fall out.
I wanted to write, but I couldn’t even breathe.
I’d love to do this another way
but my eyes cling to their color-
I simply am what I am.
Happiness can only be made with what you have.
The box is too small.
If I don’t start thinking outside of it soon . . .
I put away my knitting early tonight.
No matter how many tidy rows I stitched
my thoughts wouldn’t follow suit.
If the answer were in this coffee cup, I would have found it twice by now.
