These are original poems, but I didn't write them. I just cut words out of magazines, newspapers, junk mail, and save them. Then I start arranging them on a page until I sumble upone something I like. Amazingly there are themes and threads that come from my subconsious mind while I'm cutting out words. I wish I had a better pair of scissors. http://chickollage.blogspot.com/2007/04/365-collage-poetry-challenge-day-6.html

Revivify Life
the text
the most challenging ambition
is to revivify past experience
Let's get to the heart of the matter:
We know the importance of loafing
lies in how we measure ourselves.
Life
is either useful
or destructive.
Spot the difference.
Feel peaceful in a heartbeat.
Each morning
the day lies like a fresh shirt on our bed.
Enjoy.

Sometimes
the text
Did
you
know sometimes you need to
deny that human life can be lived like
you can keep it going as you have?
You're telling yourself that maybe this time
it'll be different. Don't you know that's
dangerous?
"Wait-- what?"
Sometime the
tell-tell brain asks:
"How do you deal with this open wound?
These are perilous days
and lonely runs both ways?"
G
U Well, I guess I'd answer:
L "To make life better
P love your life,
because life is precious. Youhave to rethink everything you thought you knew.
There's more benefits of life in the slow lane.

The Art Of Living
the text
The Art
of Living
can be puzzling.
Let's shed some lifht on life.
Control is an illusion.
Beware: you can't
take charge of your
extraordinary out of
control life.
You have had to del with heartache.
We shoud have
been more skeptical
What're you
gonna do?
It has
become increasingly
clear that imperfeftion is what makes us human/
Let's get practical: We live with what
happens to us
We jump
between the dim &
the dark.
We live with open
wounds.

Live Big
the text
It's morning
Daylight
again. I'm wide awake.
I was ready for anything but
what I found
Life's good
and the good is in the details.
Yep, it's a sweet surprise.
I never thought
it could happen
to me.
Live
Big ---this is in-
credible---
It takes time
to be a
phoenix.

THE GOOD LIFE
THE TEXT
THE GOOD
LIFE
Between my life as I conceive it and
the life I have
well, I have
serious problems
Bullshit events in my life happen,
but I am never going
back to my past.
Official male attitudes aside,
the world of complaints can carry on without my help.
My
Life is the good life.
How does
yours compare?

Does pain toughen you up?
The text
I hear trauma is supposed to be
good for you.
It isn't
It is amazing what
chronic
pain, stiffness, and being tired will
do to the way we
experience life.
When you get to the
brink...keep going
because it's been well
documented:
that the possibilities
are ...endless. There's plenty
of upside, but none of the down.
Be Superficial
The text
You are too
hard on yourself.
You've got an advanced
case of
the worries.
Be superficial.
It feels naughty,
but it's not.

The Shit List
The text of the poem
I
happen to be absolutely certain
the
shit list
can't
possibly be true.
Life
is an open
door
to all
that
is possible.
I
often student the joys and regrets of the ancient people,
the
bazaar
twisted
journey
the
great ideas of earthbound miscreants,
the
turmoil and instability
that's
going on.
This
is scary stuff, but
there's
nothing going on here
that
anyone should die for.
I
don't know why,
but
I have a feeling
that
suddenly all is
right
with the world.
