*not happy with this one, but at least I'm writting again*


~Immortality ~

Full of ideas
  I've
   never
    shared
Ideas through time
  are
   forgotten
Through time
  I continue
   to
    die
My ideas
  are all
   that can
    survive

Like a lonely tree
  that falls
   in the
    woods

If no one hears my thoughts
  do they
   really
    exist
But once they exist
  they may
   never
    die
       My mind
       My ideas
       My influences
Must live
Must persist

To live forever
is
  only
   a dream
Because reality
  has
   other
    plans
But my influences
shall
  forever
   live
I shall survive
In the
  Children’s
   minds

Sweet!  I don't see why you didn't like this one, maybe I'm full of too many carbohydrates at the moment but I honestly did like this one more than many things I have read of yours.  The formatting was neatly done, spacing in of words made the flow somewhat unusual.  "I shall survive in the children's minds" was just... wow.  
Just amazing.

Allan thank you sir... I appreciate it

Branden, surprisingly I wrote this one fairly quickly.  I think my creative energy is crawling back.  Thanks buddy.

Jenn, hun, thank you very much.  I'm glad you liked it.  And it FEELS good to be writing again.  

Banburycross, thank ya for reading my poem and your gracious comments.  They are appreciated.

And now a confession  
I fibbed... I do like this poem.  But I figured by saying I don't it would be easier for people to give honest opinion of it.  Plus I hate liking my own poems, let alone SAYING I like my own poems.... just a complex of mine hehe  

Thanks again
Jason

I really enjoyed this poem. Especially the ending of it. Well done Jason....you know you write well, so don't huff and puff about how you don't!
Very good poem!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow

i liked the sentiments here...we all want to know that we don't live in vain, that our existence has some meaning, some significance...

i liked the analogy of the fallen tree and personally, i feel if you include more such images, this poem will be even better

nonetheless, this one is going into my library

I think this is one of your best, Jason.  The style is genius, and the flow is perfect.  VERY nicely done.  I wouldn't change a thing about it.  I enjoyed this!
