Even if
the blinds are drawn
what good the reaction
if only a yawn!

Original item by julie callaghan

Thank you for commenting Rudyard, Though there are many sources of light the universe between those lights is a dark place, and this poem certainly touches on some dark concepts. However sometimes by accepting the darkness we can relax in it. I'm sorry that you found it difficult but I am very happy that you shared your opinion. I'm glad that you survived the poem as I wouldn't want to be responsible for ending your life and preventing all the poems you haven't written yet from reaching the world. ?

Nice at the beginning but towards the end i tend to kill myself. It does something to me and i hate it. Maybe its okay. Maybe more.

Thank you for your comment Stephen. I've no idea how life as we know it and life forms as we know them came to be and function, nor do I know how death as we think of it or even as anybody thinks of it could be and function - it is all far beyond my ken. But, I do think there's a very good chance that it might not be exactly what anyone expects and so I suppose I should just hope that it will be 'as good or better than expected' for everyone, whatever they believe in.

Thank you Keith, A Girl and Stephen G for the likes and kind comments. Thanks to everyone else for the likes. I wasn't sure about this one, I wrote it quickly this morning and thought it should have another verse. Perhaps I will leave it as it is.

Comment is about Normality (blog)

Original item by Nicholas

Reminds me of the time some years ago now, when I returned home
to discover that my trouser fly/zip had slid down throughout a
ride and back on the underground rail line. Mortification was the
feeling and I hoped the fit of my pants had managed to keep "the
blind drawn" on my travels. ?

A poem which poses an important question concerning our real selves and those forces which try to sublimate our very own identity. A poem to ponder on.
