To Feel Motivated


I am not enough.
I have no time. Delightful
excuses: specters
who will wander in my tomb
and sing the songs of regrets.

Thank you very much. I like tanka and haiku/senryu. They allow us to say a lot of things in a few words ;)

The lines have their prose meaning clear and immediate enough for the purposes of word perfection. They make the whole poem the word perfection. The poem also shares the poetic tradition with Yeasts's poem called, "Death": NOR dread nor hope attend A dying animal; A man awaits his end Dreading and hoping all; Many times he died, Many times rose again. ... The trouble is that, not all men are wishing to write bodily on what’s before us. A. Ormulyce has released a great gesture.

Thank you so much. I agree a man "dies" several times during his lifetime. I don't fear the final death; I fear being sent here for a new attempt...
