The Answer...

There are questions we all ask
An endless maze full of contrast
The meanings that we seek to find
Within ourselves and throughout time...


OK here's how this one goes. I want poems about the meaning of life. I don't want sap and I'm not really looking for hilarity.What I AM looking for is the journey; the searching, the pondering of, and perhaps the moment of clarity in which you find the answer to YOUR question.

If you would like an example of the topic here is my poem on the subject: http://allpoetry.com/poem/4813047

 

Here are the rules:

 

1. Keep it under 60 lines.

2. USE SPELL CHECK AND WATCH YOUR GRAMMAR! (I will be paying attention)

3. No more than 2 entries per person.

4. I reserve the right to DQ any I find inappropriate.

 

5. HAVE FUN!

 

More points may be added later.
