The man at the bar said,
It is the dusty haze
at the stir of an abandoned book.
It is a rotted carcass
creeping at the edge of the earth.

And it is this bottle
emptied in fear,
This dirty face
tempered with beer.
It is all of the sad songs that we sing.

Poetry is my life,
the old man said,
and my life is full of death.
Old friends on dirty matresses
on dirty, wooden floors;
My brothers throat
singing a plastic consumption
(in Africa it is gold)
singing buy more now,
buy more, forget your family,
buy more...

And poetry is an empty grave
waiting to be filled
I am the digger
I am the empty field. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 48 [informant] => iodinelove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is a dead thing,
The man at the bar said,
It is the dusty haze
at the stir of an abandoned book.
It is a rotted carcass
creeping at the edge of the earth.

And it is this bottle
emptied in fear,
This dirty face
tempered with beer.
It is all of the sad songs that we sing.

Poetry is my life,
the old man said,
and my life is full of death.
Old friends on dirty matresses
on dirty, wooden floors;
My brothers throat
singing a plastic consumption
(in Africa it is gold)
singing buy more now,
buy more, forget your family,
buy more...

And poetry is an empty grave
waiting to be filled
I am the digger
I am the empty field.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
