My last poem

imagine
a life without tears
a world full of laughter
a mind without darkness
a heart full of hope.

imagine
an day without boredom
a week without fear
a month without anger
a year well spent

imagine
a poetry with meaning
a blog without pretensions
a shuv who sticks to prose
your life without my ramblings

when i started this 'piece' i really believed that after this is published the world will forget lenon's version..i have great faith in myself...but i think i need to do some soul searching and personal skill revaluation.

Are you kidding? The self-deprecation, the anguish of the soul, the self-loathing in the last verse is DEEP, man. That's the stuff poetry is made of. Or at least, that's what I have heard.
Personally, I never read the stuff.

Reminds me of a great back and forth from "SCENT OF A WOMAN" one of my all time fav movies, where Lt. Col. Slade takes young Simms to the OAK ROOM for dinner, and asks the young man if he would like a drink. In response, Simms says "No Thanks. I don't USE it". Slade says "What's USEFUL about it?"

I kind of feel the same way about poetry. But put a little music to it and it could become a great song - or at least one that could make it to your list of 'songs I can't stop humming today'

why did you escape the word 'love'
dear friend?

how about

a heart full of love,
a life full of freedom
a friend full of warmth,
and a mind full of nothingness??
