It appears that out of 289, lets say 300 members of this forum, less than 10 are actively participating. This has been a test of the emergency broadcast system, in the case of a real life situation you would have been immediately notified. I made a living for ten years as a comedian because doing so as a poet had no future and here I am resorting to satire 30 years later. Love and blessings to each and every one of you who signed up, I can only imagine that it is............poetic justice! What Is A Poem? By Kavindra Rishi aka Jeffrey Armstrong aka Jamadagneya das What is a poem, That we may compare? An airy bit of nothing That seems to be somewhere, A dream inked out in passion, Petition or a prayer, The hope that someone listens, Love we want to share, A tirade on existence And all that is unfair, Confession made in confidence Of deeds we cannot bear, A crying in the darkness Or lock of someones hair, A baby in a basket Abandoned in despair, The truth described obliquely, With words, by those who dare To touch the subtle essence, The tyger in its lair, Swift stallion running madly, Wild eagle in the air, A beam of light to measure The distance here to there, Embrace amid the flowers, Life undressed and bare, Oasis in the desert For those who wander there, Outpouring and consuming, The mating of a pair, A lonely silent struggle When no one seems to care, The secret incantation, A warning to beware, The means for our destruction Or secret of repair. An end and a beginning, Words that time cant wear, A bit of immortality From a cosmic love affair. Copyright 2014 Jeffrey Armstrong All Rights Reserved
