Two Short Poems

Post by Little U.S Dreamer »

My favorite poets are Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Allen Poe, Lewis Carroll, and more.

Who is/are yours?

"Never did the world know me

Never did it care

Never did it answer my scream

Or even take a look

Never did it talk to me

Or tell me who to blame

Never did it matter

Because we were all the same. "

"If only I could drink the world

It would taste like strawberry wine

All Concords and memories, a sinful mix of time

All those supple little tingles

How I would savor every burst

Oh moments can’t you share

The realization of the sublime"

I don't claim talent... I twiddle - Constructive critiquing appreciated.


"I do my thing and you do your thing.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,

And you are not in this world to live up to mine.

You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.

If not, it can't be helped. "

(Fritz Perls, 1969)

I like the second one the best, it flows from the thought of wine and memories, to what could have been.

Thanks, that was rather poetic of yourself to phase it like that. :D
