About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

this poem sings its language

but the format is offputting. Align left, sparse it down a bit and drop me a PM when you have done it, I will have another look, Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible

Got lucky today I have a wi-fi connection at home I hope it will

Last. Here jess I have aligned it left I think it is easier to read this way. It has gotten harder for me to get to the berry, as it has snowed and iced up some here. I thank the Lord I got a connection at home today, I hope it will last at least into the spring Its damn cold out there and slippery too. Donnie/Sinbad

Why ? is Not a weak ending It is a powerful ending My freind

If we do not ask then we will never Know! It may be weak, If some one dosen't Care! But I do so I almost always ask Unless I know and even Then I have been Known to be wrong! I like Why's and If's and Maybe's. They bring more questions and more answers, even though we seem to think that we already have them, WHY? Well we'll have to disagree here, but we don't have too agree too! LOL Donnie/Sinbad the Sailor Man

It is a rhetorical why.

If you gave some context to the question it would gain power. What can I say? "why" as an ending adds nothing to it. Cheers, Jess, Screw copyright, my poetry belongs to the world, no charge, property is theft. But an acknowledgment might be nice.

WoW Donnie

This is a brilliant tear-jerker; you sure splashed my tears all over my laptop. So many beautiful lines of lost love and despair...Fabulous write. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell
