What does poetry mean to me

by Tk19

Poetry means nothing to me For it does not excite me Nor does it peak my interest I could care less about your plums william, Shakespeare can burn his sonnets for all i care Atoms make up the universe and everything in it Incredibly small yet essential for anything to happen Yet most of the atom is empty space or Nothing I guess that means nothing gives us substance The vibrations of the atoms in an instrument that create frequencies to sooth my head are really vibrations of nothing The very ground i stand upon, the very foundation of my existence is made up of mostly nothing Poetry means nothing to me

<p>Tk19</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like the irony here. &nbsp;The fact that you write about poetry, and its lack of meaning, implies that poetry means everything to you.</p><p>Poetry is indeed life. &nbsp;Do we disperse into atoms?</p><p>To learn more about an atom and its relation to us humans and the universe, read Lucretius, his book &quot;The Nature of Things,&quot; published 49 A.D.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Love the tone, the diction, so bravo!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Scott Bailey</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
