Attached to strings,
Puppets perform on screens,
Stirring up emotions.
Pandas, black and white,
Ignoring the cameras,
With eyes closed tight.
Let your self-defense
Be the most present tense,
Will life make more sense?
My bed is a boat,
Ducks quack, not to be sold,
Let our thoughts freely float.

I always try to be happy. That has been my number one goal since I was in college. When things really bug me, I try so hard to think of the funny side of what is happening. Hopeing that they will stop bugging me. Which leads to some pretty crazy thoughts? Make of it what you will. This is me. I hope you enjoy.

About sexual assault, for victims of sexual assault, by survivors of sexual assault.
Most of us feel it, some don't. Some of us say it, some don't. Some may agree, some won't. Be as it may, the facts still remain.
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Lovely words that go perfectly with the images – this put a smile on my face 🙂
I like the whimsy!
“My bed is a boat.” I love it. : )
I enjoyed the 3rd stanza, quite thought provoking, enough to feed my thoughts all night. Enjoy the potluck!

Very nice.
I think poets are the best at letting their thoughts freely float:)Well written Jingle!:)
Dug the animal imagery. Your poetry is very clear-eyed, and I mean that in the best way possible. Inherent honesty and kindness bleed through everything you write. I always enjoy stopping by to sample the wares and enjoy the good vibes. Take care of yourself & keep up the fine work.
crb.
This is the perfect month to let our thoughts freely float!
I love the one about self-defense.. Thought-provoking and also about letting go and be free… 🙂
Oh yes, TT is up for this week… 🙂 *HUG*
Lovely words! I like the message of the puppet master. I feel like that is how the news is presented. So frustrating. I wish the puppet master would stop making is puppets exaggerate the truth.
So many different thoughts craftfully addressed. lovely. 🙂
Great use of rhyme in a free and liberating way.
nice work Jingle…let your thoughts freely float…really like that…bkm
Very nice Jingle

Bravo! Such delight. I always look forward to the creative way you illustrate as well as to your poems. I think I particularly love “My Bed Is My Boat” – quite a little fancy. Clever.
A fun series of verses, my friend!
Very powerful words, full of insight and wisdom. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
