a posh bottle and some leaves

not normal… that’s me
what can I say? and who’s this?
a strange animal
and that is completely fine
it’s a mental block – just odd
~~ “You need a little of insanity to do great things.” Henry Rollins ~~
my head exploded
I was going to heaven
but then I came back
not normal – magnificent!
what can I write next – let’s see

Written in response to Yvette’s challenge to write a poem about mental wellness or the lack thereof.

Remarkable and genius.

I like it all…as long as the insanity isn’t dangerous, I agree it’s a wonderful ingredient for creative genious. Most all the “great ones” were a bit off…and suffered for it, so there’s a cost.

Ah, those leaves were originally some flowers during Christmas. We used the happy champagne as a treat and then we kept the pretty bottle. Hence an interesting use for a photo!

Our minds create pleasant and disturbing illusions. Is it crazy not to sometimes know the difference. Well done!
