Very well articulated poem. Maybe for your next poem you could meditate on and explore your innate worth? ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword.

(Conversion Confusion, this is the fourth post in the thread) Yes, I do like it. It truly is a deep reaching perspective, which can be hard to see sometimes. Of course my sarcasm was pointed at that. Rather refreshing poem, actually. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

(Conversion Confusion, this is the second post in the thread) It always has to be about you, doesn't it? J/k - very good! ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword.

I can't fault you for taking a creative aside durring a dull task. One must take care of oneself, just as one takes care of other things, something which is usually overlooked these days, or expected to take care of itself in our 2 weeks of vacation a year. Oh! And we have television. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

I rather liked Brain Storm as well in the way it dimensioned abstract thought (kind of twilight-zone-ish), and the hope infused in Memmories. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword.

An aggressive reporter shoves his mike forward, it's associated camera poking Wyvern in the nose, but as he was trying desperately to remove a mic-boom from his left ear Wyvern didn't notice the camera. "Wyvern!" shouted the reporter, only inches from his face. "Is it true that you pronounce your name "Smith"?" ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

(conversion confusion, this is actually the second post) Boo! Hiss! Ha! J/K. Interesting, the drama in detail, the cleverness wrought from delicious wordplay. This is a great example of a well illustrated thought. It delivers by it's thoughtful questions, it's self investigation - staked within one egoistic trap after another, and then synching everything together in the end with the perfect knot, the title word. Very enjoyable. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

A loud knock sounds on the door of Ozymandias' keep. Peering down from the tower the watchman sees a monkey in a business suit holding a suitcase with an asbestos mitten. As he starts down the stairs, you see his name tag says "I'M not W.". ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards.

Wyvern, you mad man! Why didn't you tell us? ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

It was a very special day. The future sat there at arms length sizzling and popping. He showed her his scar. The moon bowed her unseeing eyes and happily wept at the tragic beauty of it, the dew showers nurturing the radiant golden heart in his unknown depths, throbbing in it's own unquenchable dance. With an explosion like a thunderclap the ice mountain cracked...

Are you sure we're not the dust between the dirt between the toes of the stones on the horizon? *Zool hears a far off song...* ...All we are is dust in the wind... "Ah, good 'ol '70's metaphysics. When are we going to evolve to filling up our lives with empowerment and drop this empty fascination with submission?" Zool turns to Grimmael and says, "Get it? Half full, half empty - it's the same thing, just a different perspective..." Grimmael smiles and drops a live trout down Zool's shorts. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

Pshaw! You all know the chicken came first. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

I think beneath the 'highly' dramatic overtones is a truth - the ultimate truth that everyday we must look anew at all those smaller truths in our lives to renew our comitment and our understanding, lest those truths be taken for granted and complacency and even boredom take root. If we do not, it is quite possible we will rush in where we would do better to tread lightly. Would it not be better to defeat the dragon of despair by never entering his den, than by rushing him head-on? Sir William's (just Bill me ;p ) defeat was imminent when he undertook to take care of everyone but himself. This poem is a good reminder of where compassion really starts. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards.
