Today's new discovery

Today has been one of those days where there is no denying my attention issues. However, the up side to my scattered behavior is the discovery of this website. http://www.poetryforlife.net/Poetry_For_Life/Home.html

Bia's poetry is what first grabbed my attention, but after looking through her website further I learned that she is a beautiful poet and a talented photographer as well. AND if that weren't enough to hold my attention one of her favorite authors is Isabelle Allende. I l-o-v-e Isabelle Allende! I need to put some of her work up here.....

Back to the topic at hand. Here is the poem that drew me to Bia's page in the first place.


Litter In Your Mind

I stroll around


Enter your mind


Carelessly leaving my litter behind


Don’t really think

Change it all around

Not for any reason at all

I have got to do something


Why not take a look around?

Just for some variety

See your thoughts

Stumble over your ideas

Sit and rest on your pictures

Thoughtfully stir them around

Just to see the colours mix

Amusing how blurred they get


I smile a bit and linger on

Tap my fingers at your fears as I go

Notice them start to shake

Think of some mindless things

Being pretty bored

Turn and look at the mess I’ve left


Sigh and stroll on, back out of your mind
