For Anne Poem by Leonard Cohen
For Anne
With Annie gone,
whose eyes to compare
with the morning sun?
Not that Idid compare,
But I do compare
Now that she's gone.
Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Three exclamation points to celebrate the death of the narrator's love interest. You must be a callous fool and complete ignoramus incapable of reading, let alone feelings of compassion.
Short poem packed with lot of punch. Intriguing poem.
Exquisite poem of love. "Not that I DID compare/ I DO, now that you are gone" …. Brings me to tears, Leonard
So very sad! And from the depths of his heart! Wonderful POD!
Anne is gone so now he rememvers her differently. We all take a second look after what we love has been taken from us

There's a lot to be said for short poems. Leonard is my inspiration.
