I have Learned to Let Go (Free verse) by Joe-joe
I have learned to let go And only now have firm command For what I thought would suddenly flee Stayed tranquilly instead in open hand I have learned to let go And all those fears have gone astray Sworn as they once were In lost thought that no longer hold sway I have learned to let go And now see you in proper tone As visions give way to you in true flesh And I for once am no longer alone

It's always a time for celebration, the day you finally become housebroken. For what you once thought would suddenly flee, is now under firm command. You've learned to let go, my son. It's a lesson that will stay with you for many years to come, until, of course, you become an elderly. Here's to life, love, and the unpampered pursuit of happiness. Welcome to The Rutherford Club.

It really is a shame that you are as sick as you are. You have a gifted mind that could probably accomplish great things if it were properly aimed. I must admit however, that while I do pity you I also find you quite amusing.

So your goodbye was not final.
We have two theories here on Poemranker:
1. Poets, who are dim, write nonsense.
2. Poets who are dim write nonsense.
I see -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. adheres to both.
Which do you prefer?

Only you think that's a contradiction.

Only you think I think that's a contradiction.
These theories are different.

Who said they weren't different?

If you didn't think it was a contradiction, there'd be no point in your posting the comment. I'm willing to grant there was no point.

Of course they're different. But if you believe 1) you necessarily believe 2). That's the part you didn't get. Now you'll say you do. Wrong, you still don't.

After hours of pondering, I've opted for theory number 1. Yes, all poets are dim and all poetry is nonesense, some are just dimer and more nonsensical than others.

Hey Zodie, lighten up...or are you still upset about that little wild goose chase I sent you on a while back... you can attack my writing all you'd like but the fact of the matter is that I could sell you ice in the North Pole if I so desired. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Peace

Joe

No. I'm upset because I don't much like you. Two days back and you're already bumming on about... I don't know what exactly. -:-(-
