Illusions because you see, they really are terrible. Also, I like the word illusion. ILLUSION!
"The object of art is to stir the most divine and remote chords which make music in our soul. Man is hungry for beauty. There is a void. We spend our days looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in art."
-Oscar Wilde
"A poet is someone who is astonished by everything."
-Anon.
More quotes:
"Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before."
-Shel Silverstein
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep."
-Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' -- that is all
Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
-John Keats, Ode On A Grecian Urn
"Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream."
-Edgar Allan Poe, A Dream Within A Dream
"You see things as they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream things as they never were and ask, 'Why not?'"
-George Bernard Shaw
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
-Emily Dickinson
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."
-Aldous Huxley
"Some authors should be paid by the quantity NOT written."
-Anon.
MORE AT SOME POINT...MAYBE :-)!
Illusions of Poetry

Two things before I post my latest creation.
Happy Birthday Noah Wyle! He's 31 today. That's only 16 years older than me.......Eh. I give up I'll just run off w/ E. Wood. He's only what 18-20?
Also, I had no idea what I'd been missing all these years. Ally McBeal is a fairly good show. Not in the way the want it to be, I find it hysterical, the writers are insane. Totally insane. If the show weren't off the air I'd offer them my services. Ah well, I'll just have to content myself with reruns and the knowledge of their complete insanity....
Not Ready
I am standing on the edge,
I am scared,
Scared to fall,
So scared,
Poised on the brink,
I am terrified,
Terrified to let myself fall,
So terrified,
Heisitant on the cliff,
I am frozen,
Too frozen to fall,
Too frozen,
Unprepared at the cusp,
I am paralyzed,
Too paralyzed to allow the fall,
Too paralyzed,
I am not ready,
I might not fly,
I am not ready,
Might plumet.
