Image-Nation: Does One Need A Word? …… [oct. '14 Challenge Poem; Imagination; Medium Short]
For an imagination: Does one need a word?
I don't think so. I think that's absurd!
When one dreams, do words abound?
Do words in a sleeper's brain …..go around?
I don't think so.
Of course I'm open to different thoughts on this;
if you disagree, ….your opinion I'll not diss.
I've dreamed in color, and I guess white and black,
but when I dream or imagine, I think "words" I lack.
I think so.
If I imagine scoops of ice cream piled high,
I don't think I need words; I'll tell you why.
I just ‘feel': "Yummy! ", perhaps; I KNOW I drool.
Do I need, for a thought/image, ….a word for a tool?
I don't think so!
Did Eve and Adam, that legendary pair,
use words? I don't know. I wasn't there.
But I'd guess they had an image, post apple-eating,
when God, with thunder bolts on them, started beating.
I (ha ha) believe THAT!

at first i wrote 'I just think: 'Yummy! ', ....', BUT tonight i decided to change 'think' to 'feel', because to get a feeling does NOT, in my opinion, require one to actually use a 'word', whether thought, spoken, or written. so there! put that in your pipe and smoke it (but only if you are over 17) .

p.s. yes, i know i used 'adam and eve' as characters in a previous Challenge poem, but 'SO WHAT? '!
Well, I see that- since Bri is now exclusively eating salads- he must in revenge tempt his readers with yummy thoughts about I Scream. You can't read Bri's poems and remain on a a diet! (Actually, I thought he was there with Adam and Eve!)

Dreaming in both color and black and white, I would say is a Blessing. I like the saucyness of this poem and not that's not really a word by I like it. The imagery is fabulous as well, simply an excellent poem Bri.....
