A Winters Poem

Post by Bob Pacey » Wed Jul 15, 2015 8:43 am

A Winter Poem

I'm sitting here freezing
the air is still and quiet.

Shit it is cold

The End
The purpose in life is to have fun.
After you grasp that everything else seems insignificant !!!

I can't see any metaphor, figurative or lyrical intent. can't hear a poem in that.
