Shalom Freedman Poems

The poem I did not write
The poem I could not write
The poem I will not write
The better poem
...

There is a poem that was never written down
...

And feel there is no Hope for ever changing anything
When you are depressed about being old
And feel you can never begin anything new again
When you are depressed about being old
...

The Poetry in me
Whole poems are few
Broken lines are many
Poetic phrases jumble through everywhere
...

I do not know when it will be-
Probably after the true death-

Ten years a hundred years a thousand years
A million years a billion years from now
...

We continue to dream-
We never lose hope
But hope against all odds and probabilities-

We delude ourselves
...

I have nothing else in Literature
Nothing moves me
Nothing inspires me
Only little lines
...

I am free
I have all the time I want to write
But I do not know what to write
Or if I can really write anything-
...

THE POETRY NOW IS MORE THAN WORDS

The Poetry now is more than words-
It is Feeling
...

It is not the first time I waste a day
These days I waste many days
I am old now
And it all seems to mean less-
...
