Norman Bates.

Here's my real poem:

DIFFERENT
mind functions
on another plane
with real and fantasy

REALITIES

This I just did for fun. (Don't include in poll; it's really stupid.):

I treat schizophrenia
and arachnophobia
lithium pills—via
(they’re meant for mania).

A PhD nailed
on my wall—
I failed,
my shortfall.

But I’d be fired quick
as a bad shtick
if they knew:
I’m insane too.

Haha, idk what that was.

Oh, oops. My name is Michaela and I'll call the first one, ummm, well I kind of want to call it Insanity, but almost everyone calls their poem whatever the prompt is and it's getting annoying, so I dunno, I don't really want to give it a title. It's 14 words.

Al, are you including both of us as authors in Your Blasted Needle The First Part? You don't have to. LOL. ;] Hi Mic! :D

Oh! Ok! :D

But I'm going to write a poem myself as well.

Okay! ;]

Okay, here's my strange, kooky poem:

You're Probably Just Insane
By Hanzle

Comfort would be hard to find,
if you were locked tight in this mind,
You would most likely suffocate to find the right words to say,
utter speechlessness would be an expected forte,
or more than anything,
you would deteriorate throughout the day,
It would take quite a feat,
a luck and a prayer,
and a fathomless imagination to get out of there.

Daydreams are not only dangerous,
they're lethal when you are convinced you have nothing better to do,
Living in the future is also unwise,
you never know where you'll go,
because you're not supposed to know,
Sciences and knowledge can be left untouched,
for answers aren't always the key,
although we expect them to be,
so I'm sorry I made you put up with that insanity.

I imagine we are all reasonably the same,
in our exteriors and day to day plights,
our insanities of the mind would be puzzled and scanned,
but it wouldn't have any effect at all,

For we are all marked as insane in this world,
and I think you would readily agree,
by just reading my ramblings,
but I would think you were quite sound and plain,
if you got away now while you have such the occasion,
and just say I was insane.

Why thank you, dearie! I'm glad you like it! I like Your Blasted Needle! ;D

Hahaha, yeah... pretty much. But I wrote the other parts to it with you, though.

Good job, everyone! Blasted and Mic's poem were awesome! :D

definitely

:D
