I Left The Window Open And In Came A Thought

~ Frank Solanki

I left the window open
And in came a thought
The thought turned into an idea
The idea into a poetry
The poetry changed my life

  6. When your hand gets caught in the cookie jar
    of winsome ladies near and far
    Remember the words of dear old dad
    “Make us proud of you – my lad,
    Try to be good and not to be bad
    Dont play games with peoples hearts
    They are fragile and may have been trodden on before
    by boots – size twenty four
    Reallize – its not them – it could be you
    Perhaps, its time to review
    the things you do
    (to others)”

      1. Selecting an idea I sit down.
        My pen slides across
        the smooth, unspoilt surface
        of the page.

        Ideas float to me as
        I luxuriate and drift
        in the silence of
        unawakened thoughts.

        Words shape and
        reshape like clouds.
        I let my pen wander until I
        catch a poem of value.

        My pen hooks on an idea
        reducing suddenly to nothing.
        Ideas of worthlessness and inadequacy
        bubble up towards me and
        I wonder why I bother.

        Then I remember.
        Poetry takes me to a place
        where clothes lines
        are ballrooms of dancers
        whirling to an unknown tune.

        Everydayness of life drifts away.
