Poem from an indiana hoosier to poems and quotes

by Independence Forever   Feb 23, 2007


Long may i recite poetry in your majestic halls
until my hand fails me or when death calls

hopefully i have made an impact on your residents here
for if i haven't then i feel i should leave during this year

i hope to stay for much longer, souls to reach
knowledge to learn, and many others to teach

i am no student of war, poetry and history is my theme
it is obvious to tell of me, it's jotted down to the very seam

i abandon the art of war temporarily to study literary words
mathematics is my drive, sewing and cooking, and watching birds

hopefully long may i jot down my literary gold
until my pen is spent, or my life is sold

    Wow for such a short poem this piece was filled with beauty. I have to admit when I first read the title I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not, something about the word hoosier just kind of puts me in a weird frame of mind. But I admit this poem was much better than I expected. I am in the exact same boat as you. Poems and Quotes is my home and my playground and I shall frolic here as long as I possibly can. I think that my favourite part was the last two lines they were so beautifully written and showed such passion. Nice work. The only thing that I would change is to make sure that all of your I’s are capitalized, and I would put a period at the very end of the poem just for some closure. But besides that nice work.

    My favourite couplet.
    I thought this was cool, it was writing about something most people here can relate to because its about the site. :]]

    Your flow was great & I liked it.
