Kaleidoscope

FredPeyer

One eye closed

One wide open

Innocent wonder

Transcending into

A different world

Imagination going

Wild

Colors flowing

In and out of

Consciousness

Every image

Different

Original

Stimulating

A new

Exciting world

In a cardboard tube

  • Fay Slimm.

    A great read as you opened that cardboard tube again to me to show how wonderful a kaleidoscope can be
    - -thanks for the memory Fred.

    • FredPeyer

      You are welcome dear Fay, anytime!

    • Poetic Dan

      Brilliant and so true, if only they knew the places your mind can take you to. If you have never seen what it's like through that cardboard tube!

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks Dan, you are right, with mind there are no limits!

      • Goldfinch60

        Our imagination can see all and all it needs is a twist on that tube called life. Goo write.

        • FredPeyer

          Thanks Goldfinch, and every twist on the life tube shows us a different direction.

        • Louis Gibbs

          "A new exciting world in a cardboard tube," indeed ... and the one outside ain't all that dull either! Fine, memory-provoking poem, Fred.

          • FredPeyer

            Thanks Louis, and you are sooooo right! Sometimes we do look too much into the tube, forgetting that there is so much beauty surrounding us. I guess it is ok to look with only one eye once in a while, but for the real thing we do need both eyes!

            • Poetic Dan

              Now that was even better read. Thank you both

              So I remember now. The kaleidoscope is like very interactive with us. It is playfull for our mind. Thanks Fred.

              • FredPeyer

                Thanks Malu, yes, it can be interactive, playfull....it can be anything you want it to be.

                One eye at one end - the future through the other - great Fred.

                • FredPeyer

                  Thanks Michael, are you referring to a one-eyed future? I hope not, for that I think we need both eyes! 🙂

                  • Michael Edwards

                    We can have two tubes - one for each eye. Do you remember the seebackrerscope we had as kids - you could look round corners with it and see what's going on behind - would love to get my hands on one - must look on Amazon.

                  • burning-embers

                    Yes Fred, coloured beads and mirrors. Shake em up and they look pretty. Life can be like that too... depends how u look at it, shake it up a bit, or shake ones self up a bit and the picture changes.

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thanks b-e, and more often than not we will see what we want to see!

                    • P.H.Rose

                      You most certainly can Fred
                      Excellent poem sir

                      • FredPeyer
