 Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog |
Random Thoughts During our recent trip to Gulfport Mississippi via a stop in Tennessee and Alabama, I saw a lot of road signs that really made me wonder. Examples: 1 'Uneven Lanes': Uneven, Hmmmm, that means odd lanes. I didn't see any lanes that looked odd, nor did I see any lanes numbered, 'Lane 1, Lane 3, etc' If you have Uneven Lanes, that means you're going to have Even Lanes. I never saw any of them either. (indent}2. 'End Construction': These signs aren't working. Instead of Ending Construction, it's getting worse. I saw many areas with signs that said 'End Construction'. I wonder if there's an Epidemic going on? 3. In a restaurant I saw a sign that read, 'Sanitary Restrooms'. That made me wonder if there were 'Unsanitary Restrooms' around. 4. I saw a truck carrying liquid with a sign that read 'Not For Human Consumption'. I really wondered what that tank held! My mind sometimes goes out on a tangent on its own. That's how those odd stories or poems are created. You know, something like "The Land Of Ons"  , "What I Saw" , or maybe "Emoticon Love Poem" , or even "Emoticon Fun" . Then there are times where I challenge myself, or my wife challenges me to write a certain type of poem. Such as a Rhyming Loop Poem, "Atone" , or a Shape Poem, such as "Candle" , or one of my favorites, "Hourglass" . There's no telling what you can write if you just relax and ask a simple question. What If? "What If?" . As Theodore Geisl (Dr. Suess) said in a book title, "Oh, The Places You'll Go! (In your mind at least)Your mind is a wonderful thing. Use it, see what unusual poem or story you can write! |
