Artist's Comments

I always see pictures of ferris wheels and I love them

This one was taken at the fringe festival and it is seen in the Garden of Unearthly Delights

Sometimes I just feel like I would like to twist the wheel of monotony...so....I used this photo as a chance to do so

just a twist with a filter and then another filter to make it look a little less real

Twisting the wheel of monotony

All the days just come and go
Get caught up with to and fro

Modern life with all its strife
Spend everyday as man and wife

In every instance of the same
Soon too familiar of the game

You eat, you drink, you work, you blink
There’s rarely time to stop and think

Faster...
Faster..
Times your master

Round and round
The big wheels spin
The vortex seems to suck you in

Monotony
Each day the same

Can’t break free
You want to flee

The wheel can’t stop
The spokes keep turning
Deep within lies a yearning…

Fear of running off the track
Is what you know will hold you back

A voice inside your head gives challenge
That yin and yang should be rebalanced

Only you can make the changes
Twist that wheel and rearrange it…

Wheel of monotony? How ironic! There's a chance game on neopets called that!

Thank you, Im glad you liked the poem and wheel.

When poems come to me they write themselves.

I guess thats why they don't come often
