Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

A man said to the universe

A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."


Stephen Crane

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

@ LKL - The intensity of the flames weren't able to utterly consume the heart.
Survival is good.

@ RaymondFO - thank you for participating with a deceptively simple,
thought provoking poem...

...which brought to mind The Cogito ergo sum argument:
"I think, therefore I am."
-René Descartes



Keep them coming please

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

What pain, LKL sad

The Book
He carried a book
He put it on the table
Between us was the book

He looked at me
I looked at him
I looked at it

Soft cover black and worn
Gothic golden letters
It was beautiful

I touched it
I opened it
It blurred

His book was for me to see
Not mine to read nor keep
He left with his book

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

There is, LKL.
Unfortunately I only got to read the preface sad

You most certainly also must have a (some) story(ies) to go with your poems.
May I ask your age, please?

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

And already hurting so much ....
sad
Here's a little one:

Shrill
The scream is so shrill
Shrilling, chilling
Icingly, chillingly
Killingly shrill


I have no idea if it's English at all d oh
but that's how it sounded in my ears when the book closed for good.
