Intellect Makes A Poor Blanket

I don't want to write another poem about my feelings. Not a clever collection of words in a clever order, not even in an honest way. The skills I may or may not have, displayed on occassion, mean little when the pen is dormant and my cleverness does me no good at all. Intellect makes a poor blanket. I can feel superior but not warm. I know more shivering. To be stupid and comfortable.

To be warm in personality as well as clever is to be cherished. I like your self awareness. Beware of people who are neither warm nor clever. There are quite a few of those on the poetry scene!

Hi Star, I suppose a warm bed allows a mind to fly it's kite, while cold feet thinks of thicker socks! - Tommy
