Inspiration? - Page 3

Gemini Cricket · 03-02-2005, 06:24 AM

When we met
All fire and music
The world stopped
And spun the other way

We became the two-headed
Lead character of a sitcom
Everyone was watching
Aren't they cute and good for a laugh?

Upon making our CD collection joint
And adapting to the way
Each other drives
We postition matching rocking chairs
So they face the sun

But

The sun sets
Rocking chairs aren't rollercoasters
Someone drives like a funeral
CDs get dusty
This show's a syndicated rerun
The world's a globe on your desk
Music fades and fire burns

What then?

UGH -- I give you too much mojo, GC!! Too much mojo, I tell you!!

Alrighty! Such great work! Time for a new topic.

Hmm....how about a title:
A Very Rewarding Task

Ooh, that can mean anything!

I'll be back later, please, get started!

Hmmm -- I'm intrigued... Will have to get back to this one a little later...

A very rewarding task
(a haiku, in honor of the season)

Pull up cardboard tab
Rip open plastic wrapper
Girl Scout Cookies, yum!

As you can probably tell, I'm a bit blocked when it comes to this title.

I really don't like any of the ideas that pop into my head. Too formulaic, too dark, too sappy, too simple, too whathaveyou. Hmm. I can't tell if I'm censoring myself or if I really just don't have any good ideas.

This may just be a week where I don't participate...we'll see.

As any Sisyphus will tell you
There are some tasks that will never be accomplished.
Laundry, dishes, cleaning house
The mundane maintenance of our daily lives.

Yet we put them on our to-do lists
Rejoicing when we cross them off
Only to add them back on
Later in the week.

Most tasks are undone and redone
Even the great one's:
Monuments, revolutions, whole civilizations
Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

The only task we accomplish with finality
is the living of our lives
Something we'll never appreciate
when it's completed.

Awesome!

You just gave me an excuse to not do a lick of housework today! It's a beautiful day oustside. I'm going to tie on my old school roller skates and take a whirl. A few mimosas beforehand might make it even more interesting.

Now that's inspiration!!
