No nothing but still something

No nothing but still something

A Poem by Enigma
"

It just spilled out of my mind. It talks about contentment, I guess.

"

No riches

Nor a king's throne

All I need is

A Home Sweet Home

 

No wardrobes

Filled with pretty gowns

Just something good

I can wear to towns

 

No walls full of

Expensive tapestry

Just a small window

From where I can see

 

No wide roads

Or carriages

Just a bunch of trees

And few patridges

 

No maids or servents

Nor any driver

Just a musician

Or maybe a piper

 

No prince to

Fly me away from this land

But, yes, I'll be needing

One true friend...

Absolutely! That's actually what I was thinking the entire time reading it. I really love the view you express in this piece, how life can be so much more simple than we all choose to make it. I love how the author is simply content with fulfilling her duties as a human being and finding in it what simple joys she can. It reminds me of the song Simple Joys of Maidenhood from Camelot!

No maids or servents

Nor any driver

Just a musician

Or maybe a piper

This is my favorite stanza. I love the word choice. The imagery in the entire piece is beautiful, it takes me back to times of kings and queens, very beautiful!

True friendship and laughter. Key to a good life. Many people concern themselves with the wrong things. One day waking up alone and wondering why they didn't stop to know laughter and friendship. Thank you for the outstanding poem. A lot of good wisdom in your words.

Hi! Thanks for commenting on my poem =]

I really like this poem. It's so true to it's word.

Contentment is definately reflected, because you show plenty of juxtaposition.
Like when you say

No riches
Nor a king's throne
All I need is
A Home Sweet Home

you used comparison.

To answer your question I'd say yes. I enjoyed reading this because of how content the voice sounds. Simplicity is the answer, it's all we truly need!

aww yes there is definitely come contentment there. and 'acceptance' - which is so nice to hear.

"No walls full of

Expensive tapestry

Just a small window

From where I can see"
