Hello
I've been reading through some of the poems here on the forum and I noticed that many of them are heartfelt, moving, and profound. There don't seem to be any truly awful ones here so for the sake of balance I'm posting one of mine.
As I woke one morning some time in the fall
I walked past the window and looked out the wall
I saw fish that were singing in the trees
And birds that were swimming in the sea
I’m still amazed by the things I saw
As I sat there staring out the wall
Cats chased dogs around the park
I swear I heard that one cat bark
The sun came out and all went dark
As I sat looking out the wall
Kids stood on the lake and skipped stones on the street
While geese swam north beneath their feet
There were deserts of water and oceans of sand
There were noisy mimes and a quiet band
As I watched these things I grew quite consternated
I must say insanity’s overrated
So here is one thing I think you should know
From now on I'm looking out the window.

Wow! That was a great poem of imagination. I really liked it.
By the way, ur signature is true if understood this way. If there is language and it is not used properly, it leads to misunderstanding.So, its true to say that Language is the source of misunderstanding.

Thank you for the compliment.
I guess you can look at my signature that way too. I just like the quote. I think it's funny.
