Generation Eighties

Generation Eighties

 

I love beauty

it can be

In a picture,

In nature,

A kid,

A girl,

A boy

Even in an idea.

 

I sow love,

And

As I see faces

As lovely as yours

I don't see anything else

Beyond love…

No not sex

Not any more

For you all are

Of the Eighty's creation

Of that I’m quite sure,

I can match up with you all

No more,

No more,

No more………….

Ann of NorwayI can match up

Ann of Norway I can match up with you all no more, no more, no more.............is how I would have said this. As for sex being separate from beauty or love, it is not, it all depends on how you look at it, it is the most intimate, PRIVATE happening between two people, not in the least ugly or vulgar, unless one looks at it as such, which when in love one doesn't, it is the most natural thing in the world. You are sewing love in this poem how do you do that without sex? Not fond of a 'kid' prefer a child, but its probably not so odd to others. Try metaphor a bit too and speak of people with other elements you have a small vocabulary, not that that should be a handicap if the poem is said in the most succinct manner possible and still retain the description of a poem. Just my thoughts L, Respectfully yours Ann.

Thanks Ma'am

A considerable number of people think That I am still available That apparently is a misnomer Hence the generation gap poem...You are right when you exhibit and say That my vocal is extraordinarily restricted, yes but not limited. I without reference to the dictionary, Barely know over 2500 words which are grossly inadequate. Also as you have mentioned earlier If I devote more time towards Quality than quantity Perhaps I may perform more nobly. I shall hence forth do so as advised And magnanimously counselled by you None the less I appreciate the tone Behind the veiled texture of your deliberation, I may sound too verbose, Conceited and megalomaniac, I do since I suffer from the cancer of my EGO. But I’d prefer simplicity, As on the other site I post my work on Have people of intensely limited comprehension. You perhaps take me to be From the Egyptian Ancient and archaic world But I am now a Canadian- based person for quite some time. With fondest and warm regards. Don’t worry your comments Have not brought excruciating pain, In as much as you may intend to comprehend. I can match up with you all No more, No more, No more………….
