All You Need Is Me – the petulant master hissy fitter himself

You hiss and groan and you constantly moan
But you don’t ever go away
And that’s because
All you need is me

You roll your eyes up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you’re still here
All you need is me

There’s so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me

You bang your head against the wall
And say you’re sick of it all
Yet you remain
‘Cause all you need is me

And then you offer your one and only joke
And you ask me what will I be
When I grow up to be a man
Me? Nothing!

There’s a soft voice singing in your head
Who could this be?
I do believe it’s me

There’s a naked man standing, laughing in your dreams
You know who it is
But you don’t like what it means

There’s so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me

I was a small, fat child in a welfare house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just
Handed it to me – whoopee

You don’t like me, but you love me
Either way you’re wrong
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

it is science, logic and facts that are supposed to spell things out and explain everything beyond reasonable doubt…….. poetry is about something far more elusive and precious.

Certain poems convey things in a few well chosen words. Others use words to create movement and rhythm. Some poems paint a picture, others convey an emotion.

Poetry to me is a way of capturing an emotion or a thought and expanding it. Painting with words. It can be cathartic if you are doing the writing, but the best poems I have read seem to say something specifically to me, that I empathise with, understand and appreciate.

Without poetry and poetic people the world would be a cold and uncaring place.

A lot of people have answered your questions very well, so all I can do is add my bit.

Some people like art. Some people choose to go round art galleries and look at paintings and sculptures etc. They appreciate either the way they look, the techniques to create them, or the the subtle layers of meaning within them (or a combination). Others will look at the same works of art and feel nothing. It is purely personal.

Poetry is like painting with words. You either appreciate the sounds as they are read aloud, or the look on the page, the techniques, or the meanings (hidden or otherwise) … or you don’t.

Some people do not like art. Some people do not like novels. Some people do not like poetry.

Thank GOD we are not all the same.

From my perspective, visual art is like breathing, I cannot do without it. But neither can I do without music, which is another expression of an art form that is diverse and again purely personal.

Anyone who cannot appreciate art in all its forms to me has no soul. But, that is only my opinion.

ok.. what about the green fields of irises then?

[minim]

Well I certainly have enough material for an excellent tome.

I also have a beginning a middle and a rather nice end.

[minim]

OK then, what do you think of this… is a stanza from a poem called Don’t Look Back.

Inspite of and because of
All is in turmoil.
Green fields of irises
Hide bowel deep cankers
As the hunter stalks the prey.
