    Poem Commentary

    This is a kind of cute poem that randomly came to me. I think it's my most little-kid-ish.

    As Of Today
    Today,
    As you have decided
    The day will not turn blue
    It will instead turn yellow,
    As that would better suit you

    Today,
    As you have announced
    The sun will stay all day
    Not turning or setting or letting water spill
    It will be here today

    Today,
    As you have ordered
    The grass will not sway
    Since, of course, it should stay still
    "Just sit there, grass, and lay!"

    Today,
    As you have demanded
    All souls will turn to you
    Serving, pleasing, entertaining
    "What can I do for you?"

    Today,
    It is obvious
    That it is all about you.
    But, I cannot stand this!
    I must have a day too!

    Tomorrow,
    The grass is allowed to sway.
    The sun may do what it pleases.
    The sky may be blue.
    Because, since I have tomorrow,
    I'm making up for today!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
