Nothing

Nothing

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

 

Everything is nothing

is that crazy to say?

Everything's just something

getting in the way

of everything.

That's the thing

that happens every day,

to everything

happening

in every single way.

This is pretty amazing, Mejasha! Very insightful and what is most interesting is the way the words flow each other. Lyrical, almost like a song. However, I'm afraid we do not share the same idea. The overall idea of my poem was that, for every person, there are things that mean everything to them, and things that mean nothing to them. But that nothing is still in fact something and that something is everything to someone else. Even the things that do not matter to people, matter simply because they exist in the first place. They exist for a reason and regardless of what that reason is, they are nevertheless important. In any event, kudos to you. Very well done! :D

A really great 'nonsense' rhyme: one that's actually steeped in truth, but expresses it in a tongue-twisting kind of way. It's a fun read.

Good luck in this contest.
