A Lack of Vision By: Matthew Patterson on 12/10/2004; 1:41 AM How dare you turn your face from me? Once I was you. I spoke in rhythm and dwelt in melody. I was one with ten, twenty, fifty players. A hundred hands, a hundred ears, a single purpose. Now I am but one, and you see only one, but I retain all that ever was. You call yourself musician, artist, seer, And so confident are you that you fully comprehend your world, That your gaze slides past the worlds upon worlds in the other. Perhaps one day you shall realize your blindness, And I shall provide a lens through which you may see.
RE: A Lack of Vision By: Matthew Patterson on 12/10/2004; 1:43 AM My organic chemistry final is in just under thirteen hours, so of course I'm up writing poetry. I don't know if this is any good or not, but it clawed its way out and I was powerless to stop it. Have at it, people who are good at poetry. (Mark? Do we have any of those?)
RE: A Lack of Vision By: Ben C on 4/25/2005; 12:35 PM Ummmm, yeah. I'm good sometimes. I think you should keep studying for chemistry.
RE: A Lack of Vision By: Matthew Patterson on 12/12/2004; 11:55 PM Was that a "don't quit your day job" type comment? Because, yeah, I definitely shouldn't give up science to be a poet. On the other hand, the final's over, and we should all attempt to better ourselves in any way possible.
RE: A Lack of Vision By: Richard Davidson on 12/16/2004; 12:43 AM Ben C. should not quit his day job to be a poetry critic. There. Have we all gotten that out of our systems? The poem is good. I like it. I am not an expert at poetry, but I've written some good stuff before, and I have the sense to know Chie is the best on the site. So am I qualified to say your poem is good? Why yes! As a matter of fact, I am. And it is. I can hear the orchestra. The third violin is slightly out of tune. Tell him to fix that, or we will shoot him.
RE: A Lack of Vision By: Matthew Patterson on 12/16/2004; 4:43 PM Violins are always out of tune. It's a defining characteristic of the instrument. -_^
