The Death of Imagination

The Death of Imagination

A Poem by Askew

Without the lyrics on my lips
My soul is a silent song.
Without the pictures in my mind
My life is a blank canvas.
Without the words in my heart
My world is an empty page.

It's all been forgotten,
Oh, what I'd do to get them back.
Soon I will be rotten,
All thank to what I now lack.
Creativity and imagination,
Gone without a trace.
Soon the disease will rule the nation,
Taking the earth place by place.

It’s interesting- a few of the poems you and I have written are very similar; but one is more dark and one is more light. I’m enjoying reading your version of similar poems that I have.

This poem reminds me of one I wrote within the past few months called “Reality”

Yikes, probably anyone's worst nightmare.
Beautiful poem, it's fun how you play with the sentences and the meanings. Tells exactly what no one wants to experience. ;) It's well written too, some might say it's professional :) Either way, I really like it.
Cheers!

this world can't go on without imagination.. The idea of such world makes me shiver

What a frightening thought,
What a bleak world this would be, following the death of Imagination! Her sister,Inspiration, would not, I think, languish long without her.
A well written horror tale for writers!
