| I had planned on calling this page "Poems" but then I thought, What if they all suck? So, I figured that if someone doesn't like them, then I can say, "Hey, I never said they were poems, just attempts." hee hee Anyway enjoy, and let me know what you think, even if you hate 'em. :) |
| The Greatest Teasure Is it the sun? Giver of warmth, Our lives and our world revolve around it. Without it the world would be a cold place indeed. But, is it the sun? No. Is it water? Sustainer of life, Men build cities on it. Our very bodies are composed of it. Without it the world would be a dry place indeed. But, is it water? No. Gold is an obvious choice, But is far too clich� to bother with. If you think it's gold, God help you. What is it? It is a thing which men pine for. The greatest of God's gifts to man. Without it, the world would be a cold place. Anger and war would increase, And no happiness would abound. Without it, the world would not be a dry place, For tears would never cease. What is it like? To what shall I compare it? Perfectly carved ivory resting on velvet cushions, Or perhaps a flock of lambs grazing in scarlet pastures. If tomorrow it were gone, I would not cease to live, But the life would be gone from me. It is not the sun, It is not love, Or trust, 'Tis nothing less than, The female smile. |
