Epigrams

[PrinceMyshkin]

Happiness, somehow, carries the seed
of its own destruction,
because if you’re one degree less happy
today than you were yesterday
it feels like despair.

Another thought provoking statement. I'm not sure about its poetic sound (although, I don't really know what I mean by that).

If I get a high grade at uni, I'm in danger of expecting the same standard unless I always aim for a pass and accept anything higher as a bonus.

Your poem reminds me of this.

There's a sense of pessimism in this, Prince. Perhaps Alzheimer's has its benefits (in poor taste I know - forgive me).

Prince
I loved this piece. Your poetry has become more accessible to me. I fear you are dumbing down ;)

In the end the true power may lie with him or her who does not seek power as an end in itself.
