Wrong Direction Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Wrong Direction

Rating: 5.0


What is it now?
which word should I choose, wow!
what choice have I
which word I can choose and why
vivisection
no, wrong direction
dividend
not so inherent
that is exactly like interest
of the capital
of money
mine....
perhaps
thine....
well, my dear, time is money
these words have I chosen for thee
if I spent much or less time
that's the same as the amount in money

we all together spent much much time on poetry
we do not get one single dime of money

one exceptional is there for published poems
long time after we decease
we will be immortal with ease
and very, very famous all over the globe
and let us hope
that the world will read how intelligent we are

though the earned money go to them
the speakers, the seekers, the philanthropists

we do not get one single dime
since the money enters the pockets at another time
long after we decease

I do not say these precious words fluently
on our epitaph will be put most beautifully

here lies the world famous poet and author
he was an excellent writer, sublimest poet and bad actor

Are these the wrong words then?
What is it now, dear women and men?

which word should I choose, hurry
how much time do I get

which word may I choose?
hurry-hurry, so much time to loose

emergency section,
no, that's again the wrong direction

a huge memorable epitaph
signed with our autograph

A great poem with a meaningful message. Yes, we spent much time in Poetry but we never get a single dime for it.I agree but the compensation lies in the happiness we derive that we can express

Sweet words of wisdom can never be divided or separated. Words spoken from true mind with tender beat of heart are sweet and beautiful. In hurry mood like train's journey which words we shall chose to praise a poet friend like Selly, these matter a lot. Words of affection are greatest words although not expressed outside sometimes. An excellent poem is brilliantly penned....10
