A Meaningless Poem

Sounds
When they follow you like dogs
In the forest of silence,
Itch-afflicted, skeletal loneliness
When it litters
Offspring of dreams
In shallow ponds of evenings;
The crows perched
On branches of the sun
Then fly away.

meanings depend on personal perceptions of the writings I find meanings in each line

The title that truely belies its content of your cleverness in each line a corker of a statement never repeating itself....go to the top of the class! regards

For me your poem of meaningless is about how the past haunts and when the crows fly away the haunting stops and you are living once again. Good advice and far from being meaningless. Naseer it is beautiful.

This poem is a beyond- all- Meanings- poem...perhaps that is why the title goes like that.Especially the crows here have added more meaning before flying away from this Wonderful Meaningless verse!!

I was attracted to this title because there are no meaningless poems. See, I was right!

insightful and meaningful poem, Naseer; I wrote a poem a long time back entitled: 'A useless poem' in a playful spirit; will find it and send it to you

A profound and meaningful poem, even though the title says meaningless. Each word is carefully placed to add to the stark effect it creates. The image of 'the crows perched on branches of the sun and fly away' really leaves a cold impact on my heart.

I don't think this title does justice to this work, a work that everso graphuically & meticulously takes the Reader through a moment & event in "Natures"time...a freeze-frame, if you will...that YOU, through a cornucopia of effulgent depiction...YOU bring to us ....ostensibly L I V E ! Excellent language, pictorial depiction ... Frank/FjR
