Since I've just opened up the creative gates again, I find lots flowing out - damn those creative juices! - mostly I write ditties for fun, occasionally I write something I think is worthwhile. Try these for some fun. :)

2 subMaster

Mild stern
Meek assertive
Anguished calming
Agitated controlled
Sweet sharp
Soft harsh
Tender tough
Tractable firm
Ethereal worldly
Empty fulfilling
Repentant forgiving
Restrained demanding


Multiplicity

Am I the one
For your one
To make two?
If you added one to two
To make three
Would I, upset,
Add one to make four?
And if three had one already
How would we cope with five?
Would four bring more,
Would we leap suddenly to seven?
Heavens what if five, six, seven had some -
Would we exceed eleven?
Who’s one would be which
And which one would care
For whom?
I return to my simple equation:
Am I the one
For your one
To make two?


Perhaps

What do I do
What do I say
What do I think
You can’t tell me. Nor you.
Nor anyone.
Except perhaps…

What do I mean
What do I want
What do I seek
They can’t tell me. Nor them.
Nor anyone.
Except perhaps…

But perhaps isn’t here
Isn’t saying
Isn’t sharing
Isn’t guiding
Perhaps perhaps doesn’t
care

I appreciate you reading, EB. (yes I enjoyed the second one, too!)

The second one is heartachingly amusing and deep!

For that you are fully forgiven your earlier suggestion to Uncle Ed.

I have a nasty feeling this has something to do with iguanas. :eek: Thank heavens I have managed to redeem myself quickly! I'm sure Uncle Ed would never do anything so nasty...

Well probably. :rolleyes:

Nice to meet you, cariad
