    Poem Commentary

    Pretty sure we all have a friend like this...

    Runner-up

    I know love
    Somehow I do
    I see it in their eyes
    When they talk of you

    So pretty and perfect
    Who wouldn't be taken?
    So charming and fun
    My image is shaken

    I can't stand by you
    It just isn't liveable
    'Cause when i'm there
    I turn invisible

    I'm the rock
    You're the gem
    I dont blame you
    Or even them

    The only one I resent
    Is simply me
    Because apparently, perfect,
    I can't be.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
