A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

I heard from my friend, who would never lie, (Cross my heart and hope to die!) That if you don't dry off after being in the rain, The water will soak into your brain! And it's really bad if your brain gets wet Because... um... well I don't know yet BUT she also said (and I swear this is true!) That when you dance without ballet shoes Then the bones will come out of your toes If you do a ballerina pose! She's always told me the truth before Except for once or twice or maybe more... So Mom, I don't want to take a bath, Or learn how to dance, Because look what could happen! Why take the chance? --- I had to write a piece of children's literature for class, so I chose to do a poem. These are, for the most part, things I adamantly believed when I was younger. (I had to change a few details for the rhymes/structure) I'm not sure why I believed that water would soak into my brain if I went to bed with wet hair, or that the bones would come out of my feet if I went on tippy toes without ballet shoes, but I was a pretty gullible kid. Probably doesn't help that I was raised with the mindset that you don't REALLY need evidence in order to have faith in something. -Cough cough religion cough cough- But yeah, the moral is: Proof or it didn't happen. Recommended by 1 Member 7 Comments. That was really good! Haha. and not too morbid either. As for the camera angle....I was using a webcam and it doesn't exactly fit anywhere convenient to show the keys haha » The-Muffin-Man on 2010-11-29 04:16:54 Nicely done poem. And yea. I have to admit that I'm probably more bitter toward religion as someone who was duped by it from childhood than I would be if I had been born into a non-religous family. » Praetorian on 2010-11-29 07:19:41 nice! I liked the moral of the story! » Owl on 2010-11-29 07:33:56 This reminded me STRONGLY of Shel Silverstein. Very nice. » Unicornasaurus on 2010-11-29 08:30:29 Haha I like it. It's good! » Kirei on 2010-11-29 10:51:44 that poem made me smile =) as do most of your poems, but this one, like Muffy said, isn't morbid or anything. I think all kids are gullible when they're young. lazypuppy posted on FB about how she told her son that since he was being bad, she called Santa and told him not to come. she said that if he started behaving again she might call him up and see if he could still come by the house. lol » LostSoul13 on 2010-11-30 02:49:23 Made me think of James Stevenson or Shel Silverstein. :) » invisible on 2010-11-30 11:50:47
