0 + = Nothing Poem by Sandra Feldman

0 + = Nothing

Rating: 5.0


What am I to write about,
Today?
The feeling of Nothing,
With nothing to say?
The molten lava,
Life's volcano spews,
Exacerbated, by the lies,
Of a motley crew,
For there are no friends,
That's nothing, new.

What am I to write about,
Today?
And tomorrow, and everyday,
When nothing really changes,
And today is just as lonely,
As yesterday,
And tomorrow will be,
Just as lonely as today
When even the Wind,
Has nothing to say,
What will I write about tomorrow
Gray, upon gray, upon Gray?

The pen is our scout, we dare not send him into the gray for the worker is indeed worthy of his wages, lonely pages upon pages upon the gray.

Sometimes the pen goes into the gray on its own and we have nothing to say about it. Yes, and it is lonely there. Gray, the loneliest color.

The world becomes a big void When tomorrow has nothing to offer, For, living in the past laurels Nothing on you does it confer
