Without You

for W.

Without you...

the sun would join the Union of Astral Bodies and go on strike

Batman and Robin would have a big argument

the stars would become unglued and fall down

the Lunchpack of Notre Dame would drop Esmeralda ( oops..)

my socks would walk about on their own

John Wayne would lose his hat at the start of the film

Christmas would be abolished and my sons would return

to never-never land and...

I would never write another poem.

So I think it´s better to be nice to you.

Author's Note

I like writing serious poetry, but I have the feeling that for the internet this is the right kind of material, so I hope it will be liked

Reviews

[Claire Twinn]

This is great fun, varying from romantic to silly! I do think you might consider washing your own socks sometimes though....

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for the kind words, and you are of course right, I should learn how
to use the washing maschine..

[Coyote Song]

Yes, without the one we love above all others, the one that makes our life happen and so well worth while, without them nothing would work in the world and everything would go dark. A serious poem with humor mixed in makes for a truly wonderful poem!

[Leslie Philibert]

a poet that i was crazy about in college will be speaking at a local college tonight, i think i learned from her words that poetry can be fun, inviting and warm

poetry can be pretty much anything that we can imagine it to be, how wonderful is that?

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for your kind words and the review, I`m pleased you enjoyed it,
and I hope you had a nice evening. Many years I ago I met Yevgeny Yevtuschenko ( who is probably not read much now) and was so awed I couldn`t get a word out...I hope you did better !
