Oh script grab, script grab
I am going mad.
Quill write quill write,
something is just not right.
I set the kettle in the bush.
A mushroom tea in my morning push.
I've got to get these stones set straight.
So I can write my verse this date.
The chipmunks chase a playful wreath.
I'll never be one, so why bother my teeth?
Ahhh, ahhh, If people would wear the right hats,
the world's state wouldn't be where it's at.
I chased a folly into the wood.
I remember I thought it to be good.
Ten years past I sat on this hill,
and you know, I'm here still.
Let me think, let me think.
In shades of red green and pink.
"I sat so still as the satin skied evening, numbingly thumbing
my way through my thoughts. Secretly looking for a reason of my abouts.
I looked up into the nothingness, as a shadow flashed before me.
The realization hit me with the sight of guts being spilled out of bloody bedsheets.
It was then I realized, the shadow I cast is far greater than my own. This abstracity is as surreal as the blood which trickles through my veins."
"There",he says,"that should do it. Some Lady caller will be sure to take notice of that one."
"Hmmm, ten years, and the mail still hasn't come". "I do need to get a flag for this, I suppose." As he places his letter in a hollow log.
Oh hollow hump, hollow hump.
I've got a very full mail stump.
The naked mad man's giggle echos in the forest.
"Time for more tea",
Pouring and grinning, says he.
Author notes
The hermit's poem, in this poem, is actually a poem I first wrote about fifteen years ago. I thought it to be in interesting twist to add it in as a cameo.

Hello?
Holy crap, this is bloody awesome! You gave me chills. I really enjoyed the insertion of madness amongst the rhyme, it worked very well. I loved the rhyme and the odd repetitions, you conveyed insanity very well. You have some powerful imagery written here. These are my favorite lines: "The chipmunks chase a playful wreath.
I'll never be one, so why bother my teeth?" Such an odd statement. Please, keep your pen to the page and thanks for entering!
