Who Holds My Key?
Poetry it offers
A device for my mind
To trawl round inside me
Spill out what it finds
I give my mind freedom
Unleash it to go mine
And bring back to my keyboard
Which I type in and sign
Who controls this poetry?
Me? Or my mind?
Who controls my poems?
Even though I've signed
I let my mind do what it likes
But one thing we agree
No matter what it brings back
I'ts me who holds the key

Don -
The human mind is compartmental
Like teeth and gums in matters dental!
One part comes up with its groove
While another tells the hand to move,
To set out what is thought about
Using that way that brought about
The reason for the "read me" action
That sees it join the poetry faction! ?

While I strive to be a free thinker and successful poet this has to be balanced with my 'acceptability' by society. I can't let my wild thoughts escape and run willy-nilly...Brian would have field day...
Don ?

Poems are born in the heart/mind whatever. Yes, some scream to be let out. But it is you who decides what to let out as words. You are in complete control of this, not you're heart/mind. If not, you're mind's controlling you. The 'devil made me do it' ... ?
Don,
Your poems begs an answer......you are a free thinker and in this lies your success as a poet.

My reason behind this piece is we are responsible for what comes out, our actions etc. We may have all sorts of thought whirling around our head but we are the ones who decide what to let out. We control our minds outlet (or should), not vice versa. Some keys don't work as they should though...
While I be 10,000 miles away
Ya know why my mind is all gone?
That dark scary figure done scared it away
Yep, that dark scary one Maryon
You forgot my dear friends that we procreate
Our minds downunder despite being emptied
My mind it is thinking up new tricks already
(But as yet it can't think up an end-rhyme)
Oh, well... ?
Loved this poem Don...the idea that we hold the key..excellent. ?

We used the key
to open Don's mind
What did we find?
His mind had gone
Look on the bright side
We've still got Don

Great poem Don!?
I think poetry comes from the deepest part of the heart where our emotions lie dormant! The mind provides the pathway for those words to be ultimately written or spoken.
