I do look forward to your comment on my poem. I am my worst critic and this is one thing i love about this website is there are so many people who know poetry and the art and can give solid opinions to help a poet grow.  Id love it if you could read some of my work and give me your opinion.  thanks.

THE STATE OF BEING

Ha!  Last night I went to Borders bookstore and this dude (phd) was talking about his book, something about Being!!!  I could hardly keep a straight face.  What BS!

No JP, I can't find it either. It was a bit silly, so maybe you deleted it, thinking it was a glitch. I think I had a title for it, but, like that recent Symphony of Silence, or whatever it was called, mine just had no words and only punctuation, so it wasn't exactly hard to write. It was a bit too Tate Modern. Here's another one to replace it...

The Unbearable Triteness of Being.

                                                                                  ,

                                    ,                                              .

                                                 :                                 ,

                                        -                                          .

                                  ,                 ,                             ?

                                                                                  .

 

Maybe we could run a silly competition - guess the famous poem from its punctuation.
