Vanities

Right Now

 

 

Deep as a shallow river

We think

 It's all been done before

 

 They said

Solomon was Wise

Beyond reproach

 Back then

 

 And the conclusion

 That he came to

 

Was

 

Vanities

 Of vanities

 Nothing's new

 Under the sun

 

 Not true

 In reality

 But the poets

 Know

 Better than some

 

They think

 I seen that

 Somewhere

 Else

Before

 

Vanities

 Of vanities

The light shines

Through

 

That crack

 Around

 Your door

 

To reach you

When you thought

I've seen it all

Before

 

 Vanities

Of vanities

 

 Always

 Call your name

Vanities:

This poem you have created has an elusive quality about it, I read it 3 times before I understood it. I like your idea that poets have this new point of view - of course they do each one of us that creates poem, has a different perspective. You put it much nicer in your poem, elusive, kindredspirit. Quite flattering  to poets I think.  If i have interrpreted your poem incorrectly don't mind me, I still like my version of what I read.

Thank you Anita

All of my poems have more

Than one meaning

 They change on me as I write even

 You have a good heart

And that means a lot
