April Poem # 11: A Place for Everything

April 11, 2022April 11, 2022 ~ wordancerblog ~ 2 Comments

I like to make messes, and I am not afraid to get dirty.  I’m the one with paint on her shirt and broccoli in her hair.  I rejoice in the mess.  I always thought my messes were my imagination and creativity flowing out.  However, there is another side of me.

    I embrace the mess! I am not a place-for-everything kind of person. I like how this takes the reader through your day and the repetition of “completely in control.” This is one of my favorite lines: “One beige ball among green striped strangers.”

    After reading your poem yesterday, I got a boogety woogety wheel and thought of you! I like what you have done here – I’ve never known an ultra unmessy person who was ultra creative. We have to have the mess to embrace the genius. I do love your poem and the sense of order.
