Stream of Consciousness
Today D’Verse poetry introduced me to:
BILLY COLLINS, Stream of Consciousness Poetry, TED Talk
D’Verse Poetry then invited readers to write a Stream of Consciousness poem. After listening to Billy Collins, former USA Poet Laureate, reference “The wheel and the suitcase,” on his Ted Talk, I was inspired me to use that prompt and write my own stream of consciousness poem.
Do click on the Billy Collins link and listen to his delightful TedTalk. You’ll be glad you did. He is extremely talented and very entertaining!
The wheel was invented
By cavemen or women
Long before air travel
And the suitcase was invented
Long before the covered wagon
Carried lovely luggage
Into rugged western regions
But It took longer than
The invention of the wheel
Or the need for a suitcase
For some smart person
To put the wheel
On the suitcase
I wonder what
Two unlikely objects
Will be creatively joined
By some smart person
Tomorrow?
Will you be that smart person?
Not I!
See ya tomorrow.
Have a good night.
Hugs,
JanBeek
