the polite word
some friends say
someone has,
almost like fleas
instead of he’s nuts
or they make medication
for that
whatever the reason
for that particular that
I prefer to balance
on this spiderwebbed
filament of creativity
teetering the line
between genius
& insanity
celebrate the one
& hope not to drop drown
into the other
Susan Daniels Poetry 
This definitely makes me chuckle.
🙂 Good! Was snickering the entire time I read it.
Heh, as creative as the image. Somehow I think I’ve been on the point of balance, and it took one hell of a long rope with which to pull myself back up.
Nelle–you certainly have been balanced–and you create so beautifully!
Thanks… it makes me wonder what is possible when we allow ourselves to blow through the boxes and walls in our minds and what hold us back.
You… create wonder with your poetry. I’m glad blogging led me to your work.
Nelle–that is resoundingly mutual! Thank you for saying that. I see our life and the world we live in as full of wonder, so I am glad some of it translates through these lines.
Very thin and tenuous lines! Beautiful ~ Debbie
Thank you 🙂
yes.
this is beautiful, I want to say more but… “Yes” just just keeps coming out
Christopher–that is awesome, and I feel you! 🙂
