    Reasons

    there's reasons for all things
    like the color of the sky
    how love can conquer
    and why everybody dies
    we may not understand it
    we may not even care
    till something happens to us
    then we scream no fair
    they say ignorance is bliss
    sometimes that might be true
    but i'd like to know the reasons
    for why i'm feeling blue

    here you address the apathy with which we view the world around us...right up until is smacks us painfully in the face...then we're in a real pickle, trying to figure out what went wrong. I love your way with words though, you come across as vulnerable, strong and honest all at the same time. that's a rare combination.

    I really liked how it was a rhyming poem, but not cheesy! I totally agree with what you are saying in this poem, it makes so much sense!

    Thank you Dancer, I try to still convey emotions and a message in my poems, while still being able to keep that rhyme thing going. I appreciate your input... and its good to know i'm not cheesy. : )

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
