"Paradox"

The man walked
Through a path
Written in purple ink
and thought:
"So much of reality
is fantasy,"
And like his paradox,
And kept his paradox,
And some people said
He was a fool,
And some people said
He was wise,
And other just
Ignored him.

I meant to say this earlier but dang it's getting hard to keep up with all the threads! lol, this site is getting more and more active every day it seems like, which is a good thing, but anyway I meant to say earlier that I really like it Morgan. Did you write that?

Yes, I wrote it.
And Gwen, do you want a lecture on what is and is not poetic and what makes a poem a poem? Do you not think I thought about the ending? Try and stretch your mind and guess why I wrote it that way, because I had a purpose.

you know.... if you put a little "s" at the end of "other" it would be able to flow from begining to end... otherwise it's great until you battle out the speech at the last two lines and if you meant only one person you have to change it a little still.... just a thought oh magnificent malevolent and mischeivious morgan who is too uptight to allow any criticism of her work.

Oh, I'll admit I'm magnificent malevolent and mischeivious, but criticize my all you want, I don't care. Yes, there is supposed to be an s on the end of others. I thought you were criticizing the sudden end of the poem like someone else who didn't like it. Sorry. Anyway, I was just thinking about something else that made me mad.
