PRIMITIVE

 PRIMITIVE

 

No Aristotle here

No Joyce or Shaw

Just a product

Of my times

 

In the Spring

The ice will thaw

Capture essence

Taste every thing

 

When it`s good

It`s good

Relax

Enjoy the neighborhood

I like the way this poem supports my view that to be aware of this incarnation we are all so lucky to have been awarded is enough, and to enjoy it's every taste and tune, good and bad, is exquisite. It's not like we have to run around claiming ownership like arrogant fools. It's life! Just ride it, there is no title deed for anything here really.
Good stuff here, friend.

Very good, I especially liked the second verse for how you sequed your statement about yourself into a more universal idea.

[Devons]

This is quite mysteriously enigmatic kind of poem here. I think the message or meaning is veiled slightly in such a way that it could be interpreted (or misinterpreted) in several ways... For me, the line: "Just a product
Of my times" strikes a chord in my soul that creates an impression of self-appraisal and comparison of ability and importance in this life... that great artists and thinkers (Joyce, Shaw, Aristotle) over-shadow modern ones and make them question their significance in the great scheme of things... but in the end there is a somewhat resigned submission to existence and appreciation of "when it's good it's good"... and that is the most important experience and understanding that transcends all else during this momentary period of our effect in this world.
An intriguing piece of work and with impact beyond its immediate simplicity.

good it's good -
smells good
looks good
feels good :)

I like this. It can be read on many different levels.

Primitive....the way to live :)
Simply contented.

This is brief but so full of meaning. There's a true philosophy to this, Eagle. It holds a thought worth remembering.

And in my humble opinion, it's far from primitive, more .. very beautiful.

This was an excellently written poem and you got your point across well! I, particularly, liked the last stanza.
