NOT UNDERSTANDING

We pass our lives,
Not understanding,
The meaning of life,
Not understanding.
We walk miles
For small reasons,
Not understanding.
We work so hard,
To get better,
Just to die,
Leaving it all behind,
Still not understanding.
We buy them all gifts,
To earn them,
When we know,
We will lose them,
Not understanding
We continue,
Smiling,
Working,
Living,
Breathing,
And not understanding

I was about to post something 'witty' about not understanding the post beneath (the one with just the title) only you removed it as I was about to comment.

On a more serious note. Tell me, as a poet, if you can, how you go about writing poems?

Melabo said...

what exactly do you mean by that?

Melabo said...

sometimes i imagine what its like to be other people,what they would feel like....
or use discription of settings to show different emotions

is that good enuf?

Brass Baboon said...

i think so. just curious. i like to find out how other people poetrise so i can steal their methods.

Let's not blacken poor Mel's blog with such silliness and tomfoolery and absurdity, folly, foolery, idiocy, imbecility, insanity, lunacy, madness, nonsense, preposterousness, senselessness, and zaniness.
