Life, it must be structured,
With paragraphs- Five of them.
A topic sentence
Each
Life, it must be structured,
With proper syntax,
And grammar:
Consistent use of comas,
Not a period out of place.
Life, it must be structured.
With constant tone,
Consistent meaning.
Focus
Focus
Every line
There’s nothing
In between.
Life, it must be structured.
Live it.
Work it.
Dream it.
Write it.
Yell it from the tree tops.
Sing it to the stars.
Curl up with it on rainy nights,
And hold it in your arms.
LIFE,
IT
MUST
BE
STRUCTURED

KOLKOREover 16 years agoThis is one of those poems which have their most powerful effect after you finish reading them and later start thinking about the broad implications of the questions they raise. It is proven by the wonderful comments/poem by lorencino. So how about a poem which inspires readers to write poems?
lorencinoover 16 years agoNote to the Lady Malachite: So I tried a verse structure in my comment, but he system ran it all on with no line breaks. Thus, having no control on structure in these comments and the structure of my comment being integral to the comment, I submitted my comment as a poem on my own page. I've called it "Will my sinews loosen."
lorencinoover 16 years agoWill the structure of my life
loosen while I muse
on what you mean
the structure of life to be?
Spontaneity structured,
or perhaps, structured spontaneity,
or even, structured content evoking spontaneous worlds
Will my musing digest the sinews of my life
(the sinews that bind the structure of my life?)
as demands of continuity drift unheeded
past their point of purpose to become regrets
that murder spontaneity
perhaps
structure in words
bubbles from a chaotic sea
a frozen momentary truth here and there
while I slip inexorably
through the holes in the structure
thus unhindered by structure
chaos washes through the structure
neutral to my needs
Anonymousover 18 years agobut "comas" should be commas. A coma is when you're unconscious. :)
