My Name is Don (A Poet)

My name is Don (a poet)

Write mainly for myself

Pulling bits and pieces from

My rhyming word-bank shelf

My name is Don (a person)

Born differently to rest

Brain chemicals not in balance

Neurons left quite messed

My name is Don (a complex)

Person trying to

Sort out my psychology

As one mixed up would do

My name is Don (I flip 'tween)

The real and fantasy

World that I've created

To live in, and be me

My name is Don (a poet)

What is my life about?

Poetizing, bringing

What's inside, up, and out

Shakespeare said all the world's a stage. When you think about it LMS is just a stage for the imagination to play out on. Players being the ringmaster, Thalia, Lucy. Janet, Ethel, Bert, Miss Bethel, You, the Like-Minders. you the audience, are also players on this stage of imagination.

Join me on the journey...to who knows where?.....

Oh?......you've already joined me?

And you're enjoying the rollercoaster rides?

I'll pick you up when the next one's ready to roll....

Brilliantly written!!

Different roles in life one plays...as a son, brother, father, husband, grandfather....n socially.

Reminds me of William Shakespeare's all the worlds a stage

Ain't technology grand.?......

What an upside-down world we live in. The Theme Park is the only place I feel like I'm on level ground......

Ruth

What a perfect line that is......almost like a line of poetry in itself...

Philipos

Thanks. Yes, I liked the variety and the bracketed word at end of first line.....

Tom and Randy

We are all of us the whole of our constituent parts I heard it said, the labyrinth is what goes on inside the head - mazes - mazes - sometimes blazes are the words escaping from the head. Good work Don, enjoyed the variety. P. ?
