A myriad of tiny twinkling stars besets the distant milky way,
across the moonlit heavens stretching in boundless neat array.
Many thoughts one ponders and sorely seeks to understand,
should I feel as insignificant as the proverbial grain of sand. ?
.
But to me in my own heavens ,and celestial milky way,
encompassed in my lucid mind just a thought away.
I can switch my mental channel to happiness and joy,
nullify all negative thoughts that serve just to annoy.
There are many solar adventures and jaunts of every kind,
stored away inside the files of my preconscious mind.
Like an accommodation advert my mind is self contained,
how do so many fleeting avid thoughts find room to be retained.
In my thoughts I can accomplish what money cannot buy,
sometimes as I dissect all my thoughts whilst looking up on high.
I wonder if those wonders I see nightly in the sky.,
were all there just by accident, including you or I..
So I contacted the Afterlife, Darwin was still about,
he answered in a whisper,said” there’s no need to shout.
Don’t tell those two gorillas, sitting, in the corner over there,
they’d laugh their heads off, if they knew why, I’m in this dunces chair."

I liked the imagery throughout this poem and the slight humor at the end. I thought this was good and something I haven't read before! I'm not completely sold, but I'm going to give you a yes, because I think if I give you a prompt that can really stretch your mind, you would do really great. congratulations

This was awesome. I liked the part of lucid the best. I find stuff like lucid dreaming fascinating Sometimes I think the most amazing things in life and the journeys we go on can all be accomplished by the creativity of our minds. Thanks for sharing and congrats on all those trophies. Best of luck with the other contests.

The rhyme and rhythm flow really quite well. It's a bit jarring to go from such ethereal language down to a more earthly, less effusive tone.
Overall, a quite nice write, and an evident talent.
Sincerely,

Very cute! I loved the ending

Amazing! Good luck and thanks for entering my contest.

Many Thanks for your kind comments on Darwin's Chair.
the very fact that Darwin the "Father" of Evolutionary theory was in heaven proves "Creationism" and he didn't want the gorrilas from whom we all were supposed to be descended from to know he was wrong and that's why he was in the "dunce's chair" simple really?... George
P.S. Glad you liked my "Little Girl" Thanks ! !

THIS WAS AMAZING! I really enjoyed reading this. Great clear message and the flow was on point! I really would like it if you would send me the message I ask for in the rules! Thank you for entering and good luck!

You have a bunch of punctuation errors. If you read this over, you'll see what I mean. It's not a big deal though because this flowed well. You had some great imagery.
Well done. Congratulations on the gold.

You have penned an amazing piece here I cannot choose a favourite part the entire thing just rocks
Thankyou for your entry

Sounds good.

This is an excellent poem, I appreciate you entering my contest and I do wish you the best of luck. I am unaware of who you are which is perfectly fine with me but I was wondering in your AN if you can please put what part of my family you would like to be a part of?
thank you

I really enjoyed this. The way that it shows how wondrous the confines of our own minds can be. The questioning in the early section, the fullness of the answer to that question. I really enjoy some of the wordplay, would question the use of "advert" and it should be "dunce's". One other thing on a personal note, those who feel that Darwin should be in that "chair" usually don't believe in being able to contact the afterlife.
A fun write, not a vision of darkness but fun none the less.
Peace

Awesome, I think I've read this before.
Thanks for entering.
AHH, yes, I already gave you Gold, remember???
It's still perfect and I still love it. -
it seems you've done a great job of falling into my spacious catergory of concluding your personal being and as to exactly where that is you've been.
i enjoyed this write greatly and thank you for the submission -
I read it again and still think it's brillliant. The first and the last verses are my favourites but I love it all. I think it should have won the contest.

Hmmm...well, at first glance, to be perfectly honest, I thought "Ugh, rhyme." But it works well in this piece even if I am personally not a fan. Also, it tends to be a touch long for my personal preferences but nonetheless, it is a quality piece of work & I appreciate your entry. Good luck
-
Well written. I liked this. Clever :]

I love how you wrote that. It was simply brilliant and blew me away. Thanks for entering & good luck <3
-
Very very clever. I loved it!
-
This is what I was looking for...a witty, clever ending that instantly clarifies your message. Loved it.
There were a few places with punctuation errors, but a quick proofread should resolve that problem.
-
I LOVE IT this my favourite perception option so far there are a few gramatical errors however: You cant put a ., together. if you are going to do a .. it should be three or more ..... so we know its not an accident. your speech areas have the " in the wrong place or facing the wrong way. nice work very well written good luck
-
Cute write here
This s written very well with such a cute story
-
That was very origional. I've been learning about darwanian evolution which only made this more interesting. A fun read. Thank you for entering my contest.
-
Oh now this is sooo good. I can see why Darwin would be wearing a dunces cap in heaven. Yup I sure can. This is so very well written and I really do think that the last part especially is very cute and even funny. You have an excellent write here. Thanks for joining in my contest.

about 150 poems on A.P since last Christmas and have made a couple
of attempts to get some published but I got deterred by the complicated procedures involved on these sites,so I gave up trying.
