What do you call?

What do you call a store

with nothing in it

 

What do you call a seat

you can't sit in

 

What do you call a church

with no bibles

 

What do you call a book

with no title

 

What do you call a car

with no wheels

 

What do you call a cry

with no tears

 

What do you call a love

when only one heart benefits

 

What do you call a speech

with no words or meaning

 

What do you call a question

with no answers

 

Now take a moment and try to answers these questions. Once you have done that stop and think, will your answers to these question be the same in 5,10, or 15 years?

I like it!! ;~) I believe I could read this every few years and come up with different answers to the questions. "what do you call?" could be the "big question" of the Millenia... perhaps humans need to stop asking so many questions and just get on with living and being kind to one and all?
A store with nothing in it QUIET for a change. A seat I cannot sit in is a reason to not be lazy, stand up and stretch a bit. A church with no bibles... my kind of church; leaves me to worship in my own way ponder my own thoughts... an awesome church I once sat within doing such pondering The Chapel in the Hills; South Dakota; USA; A book with no title is a book that doesn't invade your imagination from the start; A car with no wheels? A large rusting lawn ornament, or a work in progress? A cry with no tears? Depression??? Ah, this is a good write!! Made me think and that's good!! ;~) Thanks for sharing!! Sallie Bear

T_T I like it, but it's a bit aggravating like a riddle with no answer. I actually like that style sort of though, a sense of secrecy with no reason almost. The points are very deep too, to think upon. I think you could add a few more for effect, and maybe something to tie it up? Not an answer, persay, but something just to contribute something to the poem so the reader isn't so lost when they finish reading it.
