We are all Jack

Poetic Dan



Let all emotions out on stage, let the centre hide no frame

For each that enters what's to retain no name

It was all but for the glory of an endless game

To know we was a part of what can never be explained

The meaning and purpose of it all being here in the first place.

        Oops, I looked this up. Some possible link to John Thomas, then, woof, Fido, my imaginary moral watch-dog barked, and said it will be too much for me! lol.
        Too Much Info to say more of J.T.

          Maybe you need to live on the edge a little, it can be fun...sometimes!

          We should all be ourselves Dan and try and always improve to what we see will be good for us and for others in our life.

            that last line underlines and anchors it all: brilliantly,
            not just todays write my friend
            but close to everything I've ever read from you!
            thanks for sharing, dear Poet

              We're here because we're here, Dan - there's not much more we can know.

              I feel that is the essence of your poem, Dan - do correct me if you feel I'm wrong.

              • Poetic Dan

                Well others do say different and I can sometimes listen but mostly I guess so.

                It's all down to the individual

                Always appreciated
                Much peace and respect

                The second line throws me completely, or is there a typo in there?
                Yep, my experience of literally being on stage was initially a bit of fright, followed by an act i polished and finally, just letting myself be me. But life is a stage. You, yes you Dan, choose just how you want the world to see you and there are loads of choices. Here's a couple. A working person content to be a part of a family unit nuturing a young child and enjoying their work. Or. All of the above but with a chip on his shoulder that he's reluctant to cast off for fear of becoming a nobody... which is clearly something he definitely shouldn't have to fear.

                • Poetic Dan

                  Definitely a chip and slower than I'd like maybe it will be polished away!
                  We are a part of it all...

                  As for the second line did you mean. "For each that enters what's to retain no name"

                  I think all the spelling is correct... it was not to label the emotion, just let each one have a moment in the spotlight.

                  Always appreciate your time my friend
                  Have a great weekend

                    OK m8, sorry for thinking it might be a typo, i just didn't get it. Happens in poetry all the time, i'm sure some of the stuff i post goes way over some peoples heads. Some times i get hardly any comments yet lots have stopped by read my words according to the number of 'views' shown. Mind you, i do get weird sometimes lol.

                    • Poetic Dan

                      Ha ha. we all weird and wonderful my friend still really appreciate you checking with me as you know well, I can miss it alot of the time.
