The poem
1 If a man understands a poem, he shall have troubles.
2 If a man lives with a poem, he shall die lonely.
3 If a man lives with two poems, he shall be unfaithful to one.
4 If a man conceives of a poem, he shall have one less child.
5 If a man conceives of two poems, he shall have two children less.
6 If a man wears a crown on his head as he writes, he shall be found out.
7 If a man wears no crown on his head as he writes, he shall deceive no one but himself.
8 If a man gets angry at a poem, he shall be scorned by men.
9 If a man continues to be angry at a poem, he shall be scorned by women.
10 If a man publicly denounces poetry, his shoes will fill with urine.
11 If a man gives up poetry for power, he shall have lots of power.
12 If a man brags about his poems, he shall be loved by fools.
13 If a man brags about his poems and loves fools, he shall write no more.
14 If a man craves attention because of his poems, he shall be like a jackass in moonlight.
15 If a man writes a poem and praises the poem of a fellow, he shall have a beautiful mistress.
16 If a man writes a poem and praises the poem of a fellow overly, he shall drive his mistress away.
17 If a man claims the poem of another, his heart shall double in size.
18 If a man lets his poems go naked, he shall fear death.
19 If a man fears death, he shall be saved by his poems.
20 If a man does not fear death, he may or may not be saved by his poems.
21 If a man finishes a poem, he shall bathe in the blank wake of his passion and be kissed by white paper.
i like how you wrote you poem and it made alot of sence and it really got me thinking about writting my own poems again.
This poem is quite interesting, but i dont get what it means
this was a bizzare poem. doesnt make sence... ^_^;
Wow. I liked that a lot. Especially the intense simplicity in all of the lines. It was like I could relate, but there was still a certain element of mysticism within the poem. Cool!
I loved this poem! It made all the sense in the world to me. It really changed my life. I am currently considering suicide!
this poem is very interesting...i wasnt bored, witch never happenes to me...and its really confusing, but i think i understand it...its good
funny
lol
i laughed hard
As remembering,
“Every thought that discloses the meaning in appearance, is a poem.” says Martin Heidegger.
I must say, I find in your lines meaningful of our lifes that we keep them always in deeply inside of us. Poem is mostly to disclose invisible world. Doesn't it?
I read this poem and think of it as being racist towards women because I cannot find any other meaning to it except it being that way
I liked this poem. It seems like a funny poem . A little reflection will reveal some deep meanings to life.
I thout that this poem was pretty good, but it had, 2 me, 2 many empty answers. it tried to make you think about the meaning of everyline, and then wen u did, sumtimes, it would lead to more of this. i normally enjoy this, however i beleive it does not leave enuf answered. (sorry for the way of type. we chat that here in the US) o; and i dont think u can b racist against women, that is sexism, i think.
and how is this a hyperbole?????
interesting and full of un-answered questions but i lyke it
I like this poem. I'ma teen and I really dont understand poetry but this was good..
that there is no such thing as "racism" against women... women are not a race. they are a species. it's called being sexist, not racist.
p.s. the poem was great.
It's hard to see how this poem could be considered sexist. To those who don't understand it- stop trying and it will make sense.
How on earth could u get this poem to be sexist?! That's completely absurd and unfounded.
This a good poem. It's simple, but it makes you think. I like it
this poem was dumb but funny....but still dumb. not sexist.
um..this poem was really dumb..
May not be true but good imagination of all probabilities of poetry, and poets and poetry lovers.
