Question:

Emotional isolation
A complete internal disconnection from the world!.
It exists as a gut feeling
A sense of longing
A frustrating idea that cannot be put into words!.
Only your mind can decipher, decode
the complexity of your thought process,
the extent of your awareness!.
Everything works together in your mind as a unity
of interweaving ideas that fit and mold with each other,
a harmony of balanced concepts!.
None of it can be put on paper!.
It appears only null, and worthless to the average mind!.

You question the absurdity of living, the absurdity of dying!.
What lies beyond this planet, this universe!?
What exists beyond the five physical senses of the human body, or the infinite functions and emotions of the mind!?
Do other sensations exist in which we fail to perceive!?
Ignorance may blind more than they say

"They" also say that if one does not keep pace with the rest,
one is hearing the beat
of a different drummer
My drummer
fails to recognize the significance of life itself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

To answer your question with my own opinion: Yes, it's pretty cool!.

To answer it with what really matters: Do YOU like it!? If so, screw the opinions of others!. Look at all the drivel that passes for great music and/or literature these days!. "Good" is unfortunately defined by all the wrong criteria today!.

I can't believe people are trying to bother telling you if it is or isn't a poem!. Poem, prose, whatever!. Pay attention folks! The question was not "What category of literature does this fall into!?" it was "Is this poem good!?"

Rock on, and keep writing, if for no one other than yourself, but you should share it with the world!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think it is a good poem!. It sounds like something I would write!. It is a good self analization that you should read over several times to yourself, to understand your own issues, but there is to much unresolved frustration and blunt, literal language for this to be considered a "good poem" When you take college poetry classes, they will tell you on the first page that a good poem does not intend to express a deep message, or code to live by, but it denotes experience!. Obviously you have experience, and interest in this type of thing, but you need to simplify it, but complicate it with figurative language!. also you need to get a good poetry book with famous poems!. A college poetry book would be best because they have studies on each poem you can read, or you can get a "famous poems" book somewhere else!.

This is probably the most famous poem ever written in the united states, and is a good example of figurative language, in a simple form, which seems to say the same thing you said in your last paragraph; but in a more experienced and artistic way!.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black!.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back!.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
