Do you like this poem?

Life's a pleasant tradition.

Life's wing is as vast as death.

Life's a jump the size of love.

Life's not something,

we put on the mantel of habit

and forget.

It does not matter where I am.

The sky is always mine.

Windows, ideas, air, love,

earth, all mine.

Why does it matter if sometimes,

the mushrooms of nostalgia grow?

Let's take off our clothes.

Water is just a foot away.

Let's have a basket and

fill it up with all the greens

and all the reds.

We are not to comprehend;

the secret of roses, but maybe

swiming in the incantation of roses.

Or may be looking for

the song of truth

between the morning glory,

and the century

Sohrab Sepehri was one of Iran's premiere poets. I appreciate his work and mourn his death.



You should probably give credit to him in your question.

Reply:i must admit i dont like many poems that dont contain the word 'poo' and it hasn't got many ands in it, perhaps if you allow me a tad of editorial conceit we could have



Lets have a basket and

Fill it up with all the greens

And all the reds and perhaps some poor blues

Reply:its ok i think u must have had one of those lonely confused moments which we all get from time to time wondering what life is all about have a nice day
Reply:Very deep and moving.

I loved it, as one poet to another you should think about getting your stuff published, as long as it is all your own work.



Well done.
Reply:thats very inspirang u should rite more poems

Reply:It.'s O.K.
Reply:Yes and no, its more of a prose, an accumulation of thoughts..., it lacks rhythm, I don't mean rhyme! It has too many questions.

"looking fot the song of truth between the morning glory... nice, but the century does not make sense there.



good luck!
