Heather Gillian I get it.

i try

Heather Gillian Agreed. This poem just gets it!

I don't know

Heather Gillian Love this.

you slept like a hamburger

Heather Gillian Sad! I'm still new to this but can I suggest you try free verse with no rhyme? I thought you really captured something here but were restrained by the rhyme scheme? It made some of the sentences clumsy, hiding their beauty.

Meredith Immaturity? Insightful? The perceptions of importance of life journeys and outcomes.

dan 40...congrats! not bad for someone forever young :)

Testing Waters

Meredith Yes it is, and I am forty next Wednesday.

Testing Waters

dan been meaning to ask, is your real name Merideth? and if it not troubles, how old r u?

Testing Waters

dan unbothered, but only bothered by it-i want to be seen by me as u r, and have u seen by me as you are

Testing Waters

dan because if I don't bother, no one would be bothered by/with me...I'd ever be invisible here,

Testing Waters

dan life has but one purpose, that is to live it-and have it lived unto thou purpose

Testing Waters

Meredith Maybe all's words mean nothing, also mine, why bother?

Testing Waters

dan there must be a purpose for life, else death would have no impedance

Testing Waters

dan to accept itself, as one not to be taken

Testing Waters

dan it is death, and absurd to bring all of it's self-to be one, but just as absurd is death...

Testing Waters

dan make of life what you will, but accept not life as it is-an absurdity...

Testing Waters

dan there is only one end that ever truly begins(when all starts finish, and vise versa

Testing Waters

Meredith That's why I said, life is absurd. Of course, assuming anything at all.

Testing Waters

dan we may think we have ends, or even any ending, but we don't-lest we end, at no beginning...
