Toy Maker - POEM of the MONTH!

Toy Maker

Toy Maker! Oh, Toy Maker!
Why did you create me –
Create me the way you did?
For I can reason with all I see!

At first look, it’s obvious:
I am missing my strings,
And I cannot reach the sky;
But, my mind has wings!

I have a heart made of wood
And dreams which float
From here to there, and ev’ry
Which way I turn to gloat.

I can boast of all I do,
Because I am a taker!
I may walk wherever I want,
All, without the Toy Maker.

A seemingly innocent walk;
Yet, I am aware of the source
Of the wind shifting from here
To there, all with gentle force.

It’s apparent I have a back,
Many times it’s facing you;
And I have a dynamic voice,
As if this solely gives me value.

Toy Maker! Oh, my Toy Maker!
Why do I have this knowledge?
Because what puzzles me most
Is, I am carved in your image!

The Novelty of i - POEM of the MONTH!



The Novelty of i



The novelty of i
The latest smart phone
Absent of why
Just follow the drone

The novelty of reason
Without reply
What’s still in season?
The novelty of i 

i am the app
 Consolation
i am the map
 Destination

Text of interest
i may respond
i am the loudest
“Like” to correspond

i am the Like
 Emotion
i am the psyche
 Devotion 

i am the spotlight
 Conversation
i am the limelight
 Celebration

The novelty of i
 Promenade –
Receipt of a sigh
 Masquerade

The stage of sound
The novelty of sky –
The ceiling of ground
The novelty of i?

The novelty of i!
The novelty of – i
The novelty – of – i
The – novelty – of – i

The soundboard
Into a lone echo
Unexplored –
The novelty is hollow

Absolute ironclad
A fool to vilify
i am my own fad
The novelty of I


Epilogue

Sounds of new
Thoughts from you
Grasping two
And then a few …
