in
sanity’s measured continuum
continue to march to drum
did you know alpacas hum?
so
hum to yourself like alpacas do
they won’t bite, but will you?
if howl growl, put me in “zoo”
to
write bright fantastical poetry
under plastical poet’s tree, see?
inflated palm lights-up for free
on
this blog written by “mad hatter”
a pinch of craziness won’t matter
just stir into my pancake batter
as
flapjacks flip, overturn life’s game
healthy dis-ease is recovery’s aim
let go of stigma and false shame!
(give freudian therapy all the blame)
Poeming with Laura at dVerse about mental health. I admire my family members who’ve lived bravely through mental illness to recovery. NAMI is a national organization in the U.S.that offers resources and support!

A fun and flowing poem made so by its rhythm and rhyme yet somehow you brought in a serious undertow though humming alpacas made me smile. Thank you for contributing to the prompt

I lightened it as our family is on the recovery side of my dad’s dark bi-polar crisis…now we can smile again. Kind of stream of conciousness…admired alpacas at recent fair. Thanks for broaching the subject, Laura.
