Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Imaginary Universe

what
truly
does exist?
is there any proof?

do we hope to discover,
anything beyond what we think we can see?
in the end we are figments of imagination

without imagination this entire world will fall to pieces!
none of us will ever know because we never really were here, or were we?

Suzette Prime:
Prime number & Philosophy contest

i used increasing prime numbers to explore and challenge my own thinking.

every line is prime including contest name.

Timothy Hicks April 16, 2013 at 2:34 AM I liked the added touch of prime numbers to this. They bring a sense of logic to all the chaos and yet at the same time there is no known formula yet discovered that can accurately predict when a prime number will occur. I do believe without imagination reality would be quite dull and mechanical (a place I don't want to live in)... intriguing work! Richard Lamoureux April 16, 2013 at 6:47 AM Thanks Timothy. Are you back now? Send me a soup mail.

Sharon Smith December 16, 2012 at 8:11 AM Congratulations! Using increasing prime numbers certainly did make for a challenge, but I think you'd agree that it adds an extra dimension to the flow of the poem. Richard Lamoureux December 16, 2012 at 8:17 AM Thanks Sharon

Harry Horsman December 6, 2012 at 3:59 AM and we would not have wonderful poetry from yourself either, which would be a great shame.... Richard Lamoureux December 6, 2012 at 8:19 AM What a nice thing to say Harry.

Shaz Cheesman December 6, 2012 at 2:05 AM wow this reminds me of the movie 'Matrix' or another great movie 'Inception' i love all the questions this poem raises ..........about what is real or how real something is or maybe without the human senses and mind...we can feel be emoted and see so much more beauty that we would otherwise......ok...now im thinking too much philosophy.......but i like it LOL - Shaz Richard Lamoureux December 6, 2012 at 8:18 AM Thanks Shaz, it is good to see I got my point accross.
