Something of a Quandary

Something of a Quandary

 

If a poem is just a song

without a tune

What name might I then pin

upon the sky

With neither sun nor moon

                  Ah, that word again.

                  For me the sky is blank music manuscript... a backdrop to the score of life under which our dance steps play out our existence.

                      • Draven

                        Good question. Then, we must ask, is the sky REALLY a sky without the sun or the moon. What are we looking at here, where have we gone... πŸ˜›

                        • Neville

                          • Paul Bell

                            This is deep with a message, and at four in the morning it's going to come to me. I'm thinking, the sky is a lover in waiting.

                            • Neville



                              what a perfectly poetic premise ................... πŸ™‚

                                What’s the sky without sun and moon adorning it
                                What’s the sun and moon if it doesn’t have sky to home it
                                For me it means lovers in embrace of each other
                                Like poetry a mother and song a child
                                How beautifully you expressed
                                Wonder if some poetries so subtle lost the chance to home a song
                                Whether they should be worth upon
                                Random thoughts dwell inside
                                My long comments loose their track
                                And my eyes get captivated by your words storing a millions of interpretations inside
                                Your truly a man of millions emotions beautifully expressed by the chosen words

                                  Why did I chip in this utterly useless comment?
                                  You may reply 'You said it, not me!' lol.
