Nothing
by Gregory Christiano (Age: 61)
copyright 11-27-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
I have nothing to think of and nothing to do;
I’ll sing a song about nothing to you.
If nothing will please you, it’s nothing to me.
The trouble is nothing, as you will agree.
I can give you nothing in verse or in prose,
For nothing, you know, cannot make many foes.

Nothing is good when there’s nothing to pay;
And nothing is heard when there’s nothing to say.
We’d have nothing to love where there’s nothing to hate,
There’d be nothing to dream of or dreams to await.
Where there’s nothing right, there’d be nothing but wrong;
So if nothing will please you, I’ll move right along!

=D Something about this makes me want to smile!
Nothing is a wonderful thing isn't it?

This is charming and very well-done. The rhyme is not forced at all. Good message too: that nothing can be apprehended and perceived without invoking its opposite. Better to sit and accept what's in front of you-- where everything-- all peace and joy-- stems from nothing.

Gregory, your poem about nothing sends me all kinds of messages about certain situations in my life and how I should respond to them. Changing 'nothing' into 'something' will usually do the trick. Wonderful write.

You left nothing out and I have nothing to add. Though having nothing to say seems so sad.
Nothing at all is what we will see,
If nothing at all is what we want to be!
So lets all be something, nothing could be worse,
We all could get something out of your nothing verse!
You are still one of my favorites at this site.
Your words are useful and you are right!
Thank you very much and God bless you tonight!
Keep your head up and continue to write,
Anthony

This poem is absolutely fantastic. I never thought anyone could ever write something so meaningful about nothing. Your piece covered it all and was beautifully crafted in such a way to catch the readers interest from start to finish. Your excellent use of rhythm and rhyme as well as having a good smooth flow throughout really made this an interesting one to read. I loved it. Great work putting this one together, Ernie.

You are a clever one, Gregory Christiano. I have decided to be a fan! There is nothin' left to say! LOL

I SEE. "NOTHING" IS SOMETIMES "EVERYTHING" AND THAT'S WHY WE MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT. IT'S A SPLENDID WAY OF GETTING IT ACROSS!


11-28-2005 Roger Crique    

My father always told me that if I had nothing to say, then say nothing at all! But of course, I could never say anything when there was nothing to say, because I found it hard to say nothing at all! Great write! I truly enjoyed it!


11-28-2005 Jean George    

I never realized that so much could be written about nothing!...A very witty and clever poem...It masks its deeper truths with a clever rhyme and rhythm pattern that weaves its little ironies together in a poem that is nothing more than spendid...well done.


11-27-2005 David Pekrul    

I have nothing to say about this. lol
Actually it is cute and so true, but look how boring life would be.
