Welcome to The Baby Wants It’s Bottle Poetry Inc. Podcast, a creative project by Martin Anton Smith, a NZ based creative. In this episode I read a New Poem which is about the continuing need to battle against anxiety and depressive feelings. This was written in ten minutes but hopefully doesn’t seem that way. Other than that the Poem speaks for itself, so I will get right into it!

Hey You, Get Offa My Leaf Cloud (Poem By M. A .Smith Aug 12 2021)

The Body and Mind Was Threatening

To Tip Over Into Low Vibration Mode.

Which Is a Bad Outcome,

As It Often Takes a Month Top Snap Out Of

Its Evil Grips.

The Low Vibration Was Averted

By The Go To Method

Of The Vigorous Bike Ride

In The Country,

Or In This Case

“The Rail Trail”.

So Out I Went

The Wind Was A Blowin’

And Gettin’ A Worse.

The Goin Was Slow,

And The Time Of Arrival Doubled.

The Trees Were Shouting:

“Why Are You Biking In This Weather Ya Nimrod”

“Because I’m Vibrationally Low”,

I Shouted back”.

The Small Missile Branches Were Avoided,

And I Arrived At The Half-Way Apogee Point.

Now The Fun Part – Riding The Wind On The Return Trip.

No Peddlin’ Was Required

And I Boosted My Speed

By A Well Known Schoolboy Method:

A Supermarket Bag Turned Into A Makeshift “Sail” .

That Sail Did Fill With Voluminous Plumtious Joy,

And My Ground Speed Was Duly Boosted .

I Was Pleasantly Heart Warmed

When Part Way Through

My Bike Ground Speed Matched The Leaf Air Speed

And So I Found Myself and

The “Leaf Cloud”

In A State Of “Suspended Animation”.

Yes Yes, You Are Right,

Walt Disney Would Have Been Very Proud.

The Coin Size Leaves Were Simply Sitting Right Next To Me

Waving, Wobbling and Wondrous-ing.

Alas That Levitous Leaf Cloud All Too Soon Frittered Itself Away,

And I was Left Alone

With My Bike.

Me

My Bike

And My

Makeshift Wind Sail.

I Am Happy To Report That

The Low Vibration

Was Expertly Destroyed.

Thanks In No Short Measure

To The Willingness

To Recapture Ones Youthful

Exuberances

And Not Be Embarrassed

In Doin So.
