Why Must They?!
WHY MUST THEY?!
Be the shape they are
(Not as I want them to!)
Why could not they be a starfish
Or the drops of morning dew?
Lines and curves and every such,
If I made language I should think
It wouldn't quite repeat so much!
QRS and TUV ensnare me, disrepair thee!
Befouls my mood so fast.
I shan't recover whimsy back
Until at least half past.
Around and round again,
And double baker's dozen still,
At sight those glyphs my hair I'll rend!
And sand be drops of dust?
Mightn't they be books of air
That whisper through a gentle gust?

Why could not they be a starfish

why indeed. instead they are stoic things, dry and withered particles and prepositions. even verbs and interjections lack flavor compared to the beauty of rain. memory and sense give words sensuality and vigor. why have sex when you can make love?
!!! Yes...
You touched on an important point there, it is we who bestow life onto these bone-dry particles. Without consciousness and feeling they are dead indeed.
Lovely art and poetry compilation. I love this phrase
Thank you, I'm happy that you like it :)
That phrase popped into my head, and the logical side didn't like it, but I knew it was the right one.
Once again I love this poem about words. It was so cute. When I read your poem it reminded me of when I was a little girl in SF. I had to go to Japanese School after my daily regular school and learn to write in Japanese. We were taught to write with a brush and black ink on special rice paper. It was a process of artful beauty and intention. Even the way you hold your brush was important and the strokes were meant to be with flow. It was something of an experience as well as a writing task. I smiled at your poem because it quickly reminded me of those days of Japanese brush strokes. You should try it because it can be a meditative experience. Take care! :)
The fire nation prepared for war, but the word benders gathered to rally a relentless assault against their flawed and perpetually tragic wording.
Very good poetry, friend. With simple language, and a beautiful set of languages.....
