Following Devious Bloggery’s example, I have taken on the challenge, for three consecutive days, to write a poem related to a quote. However, as I have only just started blogging, I have decided not to nominate three WP bloggers.
Quote # 1: I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet – Mahatma Ghandi
Walking Barefoot Through my Dreams
If you want to walk
Barefoot
Through my dreams
Wipe your soles
I will not let anyone
Walk through my mind
With their dirty feet
If you want to run
Helter skelter
Through my dreams
Do it gently
I will not let anyone
Stamp through my mind
With their noisy beat
If you want to dance
Effortlessly
Through my dreams
Do it joyfully
I will not let anyone
Slowdance through my mind
To a dull downbeat

One of my favorite quotes is ‘There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.’ from Pink Floyd’s Brain Damage.

Beautiful poem. It almost reminds me of Leonard Cohen, one of my favorite poet/lyricists.

Thank you, Dennis. I have several books of Leonard Cohen’s poetry – he was a huge influence when I was a teenager.
