Tiny Place

History

the desert can be harsh
the forest can be lush
this is on which we crawl
the humanoids struggle
against it all
just to carve out a tiny place
sometimes the archaeologists
find a trace
there were people here
put this in a museum
it was nothing special
we were just trying
to carve out a tiny place

The great question. What will be left behind. What will be remembered. I enjoyed the poetry. Allowed the reader to ponder different thoughts. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

We are all on a journey. I am fascinated with archaeology. Been on a few digs. I wonder as well as John does what our legacy will be thousands of years ahead. Maybe planet earth will be empty. Everyone moved somewhere else. What a thought Jeff.

when they dig me up I will have a few diet pepsi bottles around me. my sister says I think too much. how do you stop thinking too much? sweet day as always Chris.

I wonder whether in a thousand years our current civilization will be regarded as "a tiny place."

they might put us in a museum with plastic pepsi bottles next to us. the little children on a school field trip will say oooh and aaah

You're really very funny. I'm beginning to think that your responses are better than the poetry. I just love the little quips. Just what the doctor ordered.

I love to write but I hate to read... when I was in the hospital my fave nurse told me she can read an entire book in one day....I told her I know 4 computer programming languages... we had mutual respect for each other

I love the concept of this poem! It's short and sweet and the rhymes make this piece extremely catchy! I really enjoyed the difference between the forest and the desert, and I love the aspect of the museum. It really makes you feel as if you travelled through the deserts and then the forest, all the way back to civility. This was a great piece and the way you took us to each of these places.

thank you. you are one of my faves. your opinion means much to me. I knew this was deep when I was writing it. some day 1000 years from now, people might dig us up and think it is important. it really wasn't anything all that special. sweet day on you. jeff

It was my pleasure and that's a great thought I think about too- someday, someone will find this and it's gonna help them in such an astronomical way. That's the great thing about writing. (:
