This is a Nothing Poem
May 13, 2013
Lalalalalalalala.
This is a nothing poem.
It’s about
Hum-di-dum
Nothing.
Or maybe it’s
About everything.
Could be this
Poem holds the secrets
Of life
In it’s verses.
Sdklgjas;ldkgjlasjdg.
Decode that.
If you can.
Then either you
Have figured out
What makes the world
Tick;
Or, the more likely: you
are crazy.
Am I crazy?
What am I?
Everything?
Nothing?
What if my whole
Life is a
Dream?

Oh, i'm sorry. I don't think i should have said anything. Listen up, kids - Drugs are bad. But good job, though

oh my goodness, I'm gonna repeat that. "like I was high"-- haa, something about that is cracking me up. (Maybe because I'm one of those straight and narrow people who never took a sniff...)

I love this poem! It makes me laugh and enjoy it. I want to read it again just so I can laugh. This is so refreshing see as there some rather depressing poems on here. Great job!

Now that I read it again, it kind of reminds me of my poem "Silent Secrets". Check it out, see if you know what I mean.

This is definitely different, I like it! It just sounds like somebody thinking out loud. I can just picture this being performed in this little cafe/poetry place I used to go to with my older brother and his friends when I was younger. People would go up on stage and there was just this jazzy smooth feel to their words, it just flowed. It was such a cool little shop, so sad that it went out of business. Well, great job anyway! (The ending was a cliffhanger! And I don't know, it kind of fit for me. *shrugs*) Oh and I totally know what you mean about the comments thing, my one article has like 3000 views. And two comments. -_-

Very nice. Simple but deep and fun to read. :)

Both are good! I just think the ending should be something more... surprising. It'll come to you. (:

thank you so much Cutey-Beauty and TaylorWintry! any ideas for the ending? is the concept good- that life is a dream- and the execution not good, or the other way around or what...? trying to figure it out..

Agree w/ Cutey-Beauty!! I was SO pulled in by the abstractness... wasn't expecting such depth within such simplicity. Impressive. I'm not too good at abstract stuff (I have to have a subject.), so when I see something abstract I just can't help but fall in love with it! If only I could write something like this... :) Improve the ending, as well! I see potential!!!

I liked this a lot! Got me hooked from the very beginning. Nice and short-right to the point (eh, kindof? don't know if "nothing" has a point. Or maybe that is the point. idk) It looks like you just thought of this idea out of nowhere, yet the pace is nice and even and I don't get lost or confused at all (which is usually what happens with abstract pieces) and is overall well thought out. Very thought inducing as well. Wasn't quite satisfied with the ending though, I think you could have expanded a bit there. But anyway, that's all I have to critize. GOOD JOB! Keep on writing, you awesome person/writer! :D
