Poem 030 - New Poem
This is a New Poem. As opposed to an Old Poem. The difference would be that this one is new, while the other is old. New and Old are very arbitrary words. A New Poem is new, because it is fresh. It has been freshly squeezed from the pulp of the poets mind and allowed to be juiced onto the paper. An Old Poem is old, and has not necessarily lost its flavour. It can be fine and matured, allowed to become better with age and can be intoxicatingly sweet when opened once more. A New Poem however can be quite sour. If not sweetened, not artificially but natural ingredients, the poems taste can be bitter and sting as it injested. An Old Poem can become stale and hard. If it sits too long in the open allowed to be picked at by vultures and flies, and gain a thick skin as the flavour evaporates. Poems can be an aquired taste, whether New or Old. What is sweet in ones eyes, is bitter to another. And thus, New or Old Poems, are the Bitter-Sweet thoughts of the Bitter-Sweet Poet. Written January 21st, 2002 © on Jan 20 2002 04:53 PM PST 10 • 0
