war

Hemingway is waiting on my doorstep

With an unused baby shoe

I couldn't kill the bug in my room

Because maybe it is Kafka

I had to broke up with Fyodor

Cause he was gambling

and hell knows i am not Anna

I didn't finish the book

So Ivan doesn't die

Not because i tried

i already living in 1984

i am looking for peace in which war?

This is my previous poem Peace's Brother

Okay, now. I’m finding there’s beautiful moments in all of your poetry! Not sure if it’s overly the point, but I found some humour in some of these lines.

This is so good!:-
“I had to broke up with Fyodor
Cause he was gambling
and hell knows i am not Anna”

You captured this pretty well! Thank you so much for your interest, just checked your work and hearing these from YOU means a lot!

taking a stand is a valuable tool of sanity
hiding one's head in the sand is like eating raw grits ... pointless
good on you soldier of peace!

[Beren Ongur]

"soldier of peace"
Hearing this from you means a lot! Thank you

one war after another...never true peace for any length of time.
I love this piece...and the reference to Hemingway with unused baby shoe is creative.

Ahh thank you so much sir! Glad you catched that! Love your reviews

had to look up Fyodor and Anna ( the online comment said they were besotted with one another so then had to look up besotted ) - see how much your poem taught me - I got the Kafka bug not because I have read it but because one of our sons is well read. enjoyed the tongue in cheek but honest approach to war. What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing - Edwin Starr

Then let me explain you all

*Hemingway has a quote "For sale, baby shoes, never worn" (It is not certain that this quote belongs to Hemingway, but it is remembered that way.)

*Kafka's Metamorphosis book

*This is Fyodor Dostoyevsky, he had gambling problems. And Anna is his wife. (He even has a book called "Gambler". They have a great love story to tell, you might wanna know)

*There is a book from Tolstoy "Death of Ivan Ilyich". A pretty short book.

*1984 is a dystopia book from George Orwell.


Thank you for your time!

This is different which is nice on site that sometimes reads like instructions for a small child's toy. Good work!

[Beren Ongur]

Hi sir! Glad you visited and glad you like this one

[Everett Dulin]

The only war that exists is the one you perceive. This is an amazing poem.

[Beren Ongur]

Thank you friend. Hope you win every way you in

I can't wait for 1984. A good old inescapable universal pit of despair is all I really need to feel better about my questionable decisions and chronic substance abuse.

[Beren Ongur]

I wish you to feel better in peace; but if you looking for chaos, don’t worry, we all are already in one. We all are hopeless, you can start to feel better now. Thank you for your time sir

I've swatted many a cockroach. No more than two have identified themselves as Kafka.

[Beren Ongur]

Thanks, probably they are not Gregor Samsa, but I still hope.

I believe in Trump world. All of us are searching for logic dear Beren. It does feel like a 1984 novel today. I liked your dance of thoughts. Thank you for sharing the amazing and entertaining poetry.

We all lost a war we didn’t even were in.

Thank you for reading sir. Much appreciated

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right dear poet and you are welcome.
