Invisible for One Day, a Monthly Poetry Group Post

***********************************





It's time for the Monthly Poetry Group, hosted by Karen at Baking in a Tornado.  Participants write a poem about a topic one of us chose.  This month, yours truly chose Invisible for One Day.  Be sure to go check out all the poems.


Note:  This marks a bit of an occasion for me, it is my post number 5,000.





If I were invisible for just one day

would I dare to find some jokes to play?

If my clothes were visible, and just not me,

would they think it's a trick, or a ghost and flee?

It's something worth thinking about.


If clothes and all could not be seen,

that might be quite "peachy keen,"

but fingerprints and DNA you know

would be left behind anyway, and so

that would cause a problem no doubt.


This means no way to commit a crime,

for evidence left, I would do time.

Maybe instead a crime I could foil,

trip a criminal in the act, make him recoil

and rethink those life choices.


Perhaps some politician "ne'er-do-wells"

should have someone follow around who tells

of a few of the dealings they did behind doors,

letting everyone know they really are boors,

but first making them think they hear voices!


Now I think it would be nice to plot and plan

a few good deeds well ahead, then I can

deny that I had anything at all to do

with making these wonderful things come true,

this idea could go places pretty fast.


Leave money for the hard-up friend they could not trace,

drop groceries at the struggling single mom's place,

come to think of it, with planning these could be done now,

no need to be invisible, just secretive, and wow,

with these things, I would have a blast!

  1. I quite like what you intended to do if you are invisible for just one day. Yes, things that will improve situation.

  2. Congratulations on 5000, wow. And although I commend you for thinking you'd use your cloak of invisibility to help others, I do like some of those other thoughts (like exposing politicians' back room deals), as well.

  9. 5000 posts, well done. I like the idea of someone following politicians and exposing their nefarious practices. And the good deeds, well those are things you would do anyway, invisible or not.
