The Best Poem Ever

Rating: 5.0


My brother is writing a poem;
He's been writing it for years.
It'll be the best one ever,
Of that I have no fears.

If it were a mountain,
His poem would be Everest.
That's one way of saying
It surely is the best.

If it were an ocean,
Pacific it would be,
Because his words are deeper
Than waters of any sea.

His fame will spread both near and far,
And last beyond his death,
But until he finishes the poem,
I will not hold my breath!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I really do have a brother who claims he is writing a poem of his own, 'but slowly'. He says it's really good, and who am I to doubt him?
Have you read the book called 'The Pearl' by John Steinbeck? The protagonist (I don't remember his name)found what he called 'The Pearl of the World'. Well, when my brother's poem is finished, I expect it to be The Poem of the World.
I hope he doesn't take too much longer to finish it. At my age, I don't even buy green bananas anymore.

a 100's not old for you, Kim. Resume buying green. Have a look at Banjo Paterson's 'The Pearl Diver'

O.K., I just found out the name of the spring in the picture. It's Grand Prismatic Spring. It’s the third-largest hot spring in the world and the largest in America.

This well written and wonderfully descriptive poem reminds me of the word procrastination. He's going to get it done, but it sounds like it will never really be done. Great plans are not worth much if they stay plans instead of action. I hope he finishes the poem so you do get to read it.
