Is poetry a good subject?

Literature, especially poetry, is essential for good music – we all appreciate the rich poetry in Zero Degree’s Dhoni. For the purposes of generating a discussion I will self-indulgently submit to the floor a poem I wrote.

bereft a day or two

at times like this,
i go a day
or two
not shaving a beard
that is not there,
for it is you that i miss

when things act up
and i feel low
myself,
and you only know,
how very not
often this happens,
but if no you
im sure that i will be
bereft

    o ye verse-lover . . thou shalt be more precise whence dealing with music-lovers dwelling in Maldives . . correct me if i’m wrong . . was it your point that we shall take up poetry with music in our discussions? . . or was it your point that we should deal with fragile and insecure secret admirers of opposite or same sex in a fragile manner ? . . or was it that u were having a bad day at your work-place – a saloon ? C’mon man . . don’t let the romantic-tragedy part get u . . by the way I fully endorse your noble point of view with regard to poetrical views when discussing this “Music Thing” amongst ourselves . . Good point, there.. looking forward to more articles from you.

    It seems that you joined the site to have a dig at my posting, given the acronym this seems likely. A warm welcome to you in any case. My point was that we should give more consideration to lyrics in the few songs we write. Since Dhoni I am yet to be impressed by anything from the local music scene in this regard.
