Not me . .
Heaps of papers testify
Sad sonnets
Striking
Straight and laced
Assuming submissive posture
No doves of pity please
Sadness was punished
Along with it’s function to discourage
I suppose madness is my normal
My fitting habitat
My rational animal
My aging suitor
‘Can I trust you‘ – Madness asked
I replied – ‘Surely, the bond between us is chemical’
You are my grateful kidney
My lawful loveless bed
My promiscuous silence
And the sanest part in my head
My madding normal
Ha!! Great pic, Mari.
The Clown
Tried the whole clown theme, but you own that : )
Much thanks, my friend.
Marisa… I read the title in the email notifying me of this post, and when I saw “Define Normal” my first thought was, “No thanks, I’d rather not…” Then I saw your first line “Not me” which was an echo of my thought, and I smiled and smiled while I read the rest…. then such a…. so very much more than normal…. picture! Very big smiles now… thanks…
You are my grateful kidney….my lawful loveless bede….Enchanting and strongest at the end…Wonderful photo
I have three kidneys. Two are dead, or I’d offer you one. My dad gave me one of his. He’s good like that. I love the voice and momentum of your poem; its use of language is strong.

Beautiful one…
