Dmitry Garanin Poems

Some people are telling me
They are greater poets than I
More poetic natures
...

I am catastrophically lacking sense of humor.
My sensitivity threshold is too high,
And I'm laughing only from the most funny jokes.
All others don't get me, unfortunately.

As a physicist, I cannot understand writers.
What forces are acting between us?
I am attracted to them.
They are repelled from me.
...

Where the death is swinging its scythe
Quick is the poet's pen
Facing
The unavoidable end

Just slammed shut in indignation –

And a thin figure of a runner
A veritable cipher 1
...

Cicero spoke to the sea.
I am waiting for Facebook's reply.
Who of us two is smarter?
I feel sad, still waiting for a reply..
...

There is nothing sacred for me.
Because of this in my presence
You never have to be anxious
About your freedom of speech.

If Brodsky could have written your poem,
Clearly you are mimicking him.
And if he couldn't have written your poem,
Your poem is no good,
