    Talking On Being Educated…


    The pretty little boredom
    That mischief defies,
    Like meaninglessness
    Amidst profundity
    Thrives,
    Words kill words,
    In being big and unwise
    Dropped as though from nowhere
    And sad to have arrived
    In a royal hour as this…
    When knowledge itself denies
    Hoots the knowing owl
    Wisdom raining down his eyes
    “Where ?” his pupils he enquires
    “In salvation”, owlets reply.

    Wrong forum - go over to the personal poetry section.

    Hey, Little Gal. What Alexander III said is right. This forum is for the discussion of well-known, or perhaps little-known at times, poetry and poets. Sharing personal poetry is for the personal poetry section of the forums.

    That being said, a clever poem nonetheless, and quite enjoyed.
    There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written. ~Oscar Wilde.

    Whatever the comments yet, mine is that I loved this poem too much.

    Loved this, especially:
    In a royal hour as this…
    When knowledge itself denies
    Hoots the knowing owl
    Wisdom raining down his eyes
    “Where ?” his pupils he enquires
    “In salvation”, owlets reply.

    with all respect and regards to my professors ... this has been inspired by one of the tedious prof one can have ... I nearly fell asleep during his lectures .. just one day I decided to take a break and revolt... :P :P :P
