I should like to write a poem,
before I am called to embrace that eternal dark.
That I might on this unresponsive world,
At least leave in place my distinctive mark.
Alas, I am doomed to snatch at things to say,
lacking any connection to those domains divine.
For all my attempted utterances turn out to be cliché,
The feeble echoes of Superior minds.
A deep, heartfelt poem in a few words of human perspective. Thanks for sharing, Walter
I liked this and in no way is it inferior. The old adage write about what you know and you'll not go far wrong. Anyway who said it was a competition your poems just fine. Of course this might just be a rhetorical question or poem even. However I still liked it BB: O)
