When I’m… updated


When I’m asleep I know I’m sublime
When I’m awake I like to pass the time
When I read I look for knowledge and words
When at work I speak with geeks and nerds
When driving I listen to empowering tunes
When I write I describe thoughts and moons
When I’m happy, all things are good
When I’m quiet, I’m not in a mood
When I’m eating, my belly gets full
When I’m dreaming, things are never dull
When I’m confused, my mind splits in two
When I’m creating, I create something new
When I’m being me, I’m living my way
And it’s life that always gives me something to say

    How wickedly offered my great friend
    and as your poetry slips off your tongue
    there are a hundred naked nymphs
    gently smacking your… I like this one
    a lot as it adds a welcoming edge to an
    already exciting Space 🙂

    Have a very nice rest of weekend Sir Aquatom 🙂

    I’ve been writing on researched material. It’s refreshing and lovely to read meaningful poetry. My favorite line – when I write I describe thoughts and moons. I want to write thoughts and moons soon.:)

      Hi Brenna – and thank you!
      I wrote this last March, but changed a few of the lines slightly, although I kept the thoughts and moons line as it was. It quite probably makes a little more sense now than it originally did, but where my mind is concerned everything is a little mixed up… 🙂

    I love how your poetry’s pentameter always flows, Tom, and how it is visually appealing.

      The last time I posted this, it looked a little plain, so I decided to jazz it up a little! 😀
