A Life Without Pictures

“A life without books

is a thirsty life,

and one without poetry is…

like a life

without pictures.”

.

~  Stephen King

Elfje:      (Cinquain)

.

image

words invoked

artfully crafted poems

seen with mind’s eye

imagined

.

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

happy, joyous, free

heartfelt feelings in balance

mind controlled by self

.

Poem:

.

body and mind, is there really a soul
what do I need to make myself whole

is the spirit connected to something else
can a heart live without a pulse
must all answers be true or false

do the blind see with the mind’s eye
is the limit really the sky
do you fail if you never try
without air can you really fly

what if the wrong answer is really right
do things change when they go out of sight
things do change so that we may write

to each their own respective opinion
each one worthy of a standing ovation
