only his insanity
by Bogdan Dragos

the last time he went out of
his mind he liked it
so much there
that he never came back

A Time To Be Normal
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Sometimes my head is in the clouds...
Other times my head is in the sand...
Sometimes my thoughts are so jumbled up...
I feel I’m sinking in some far off hinterland...

It’s hard to control my thinking...

It’s as if my wires are completely crossed...
The mind games that steal me away...

A close call, as claws clatter and click

Fanged jaws snap, and fling snotty saliva
Unhinged hounds of lunacy
A ravenous pack, carried on my shoulder

Feverishly followed by fatuous feelings
Never far from crazy

False Insanity
by Somali Mukherjee

No need to hurry;
No need to hustle;
The waves do carry
Our each sandcastle.

Life contains a measured beat;
We need to accept all;
Freedom has a deep seat,
As we're given the call.

Insanity
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

His methods were almost simplistic...
He seemed anachronistic...
His attitude totally chauvinistic...
His words often linguistic...

He lost his large enthusiasm...
No longer using sharp sarcasm...
His thoughts going into a strange spasm...
His bruised ego triggered a chasm...
