The Cryptic Script Poem by Valsa George

The Cryptic Script

Rating: 5.0


The wind over the dead leaves
rustles-
"A-l-l
i-zz zz-z
n-a-u-g-h-t"

The billows
howl-
"NONE
waits
for
NONE
So
izzZZzz
TIME"

The Old
bemoans-
"I
am
a-lone."

Reciting the saga of pain
that never dies
The sea of life
flows
on and on.............

dear Valsa, i see you left a comment on ME (my favorite subject) a few months ago. thanks. this poem yes, a bit 'cryptic'. and how strange that just last night i Googled cryptology machine in order to respond to another poet's message! he had written something i thought was cryptic and i wanted to tease him. you almost put me to sleep with all those zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzS. does life have a script we are to follow? i think i forgot to study my lines. this is a bit pessimistic about life. it makes me need some ice cream to lift my spirits. thanks for the excuse! bri :) billows=clouds? i may have only 'seen billows used in my lifetime to describe lots of smoke coming from a large fire. pillows i'm more familiar with.

naught archaic pronoun: naught 1. nothing. he's naught but a worthless fool synonyms: nothing, nothing at all, no point, no purpose, no effect; More nil, zero; informal zilch, zip, nada, diddly-squat all his efforts will have been for naught noun North American 1. the digit 0; zero. I GUESS THERE IS naught LEFT TO SAY ON THAT SUBJECT! (CONT.) '

Reciting the saga of pain provokes thought. This poem talks about blowing of wind on dry leaves and we feel that again greenness will reappear. This poem is very brilliant and amazing poem definitely...10
