Mo's Manic Monday - Night
Posted: Monday, June 23, 2008 by Travis Cody in
Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM HQ at It's A Blog Eat Blog World. Today's theme is Night.
Isn't that graphic up there one of the finest and most beautiful you've ever seen? I think it is. I told Mo that if I had never participated in Manic Monday before, I would this time just so I could put that graphic on my post.
Back when I was an infant blogger, I posted what I think is one of my best poems. I had few readers back then. So today I'm taking the opportunity to combine the great graphic above with my words from so long ago.
DESPAIR TO EVOLVE
by Travis Cody
Disparaging
Where hides sense and logic on a crystal blue morn
Fluttered away in the autumn mist forever and utterly shorn
Ranting
How measure courtesy blocked and passed from sight
Harried soul bereft of kindness bound forever to a sea of midnight
Raging
Who calls another simple does himself most harm and hurt
Ego lies while friendships die and blow away like fallow dirt
Screaming
What does a road save guide and direct a pointless trail
Marred and broken signs steal progress; we march on to no avail
Despairing
When can a thing end that is not yet begun
Dreams measured against reality barter life from songs unsung
Evolving
Why ponder useless questions if true knowledge is sparingly doled
To feed the lust of ages before all breath grows forever cold
A great read and some great points made in that one, I think.
You do poetry well.
