Topic: Brother

Brother
met my brother for lunch today
boy it`s been a while
got thinking of our different lives
recollecting made me smile
both of us young no more
but nowhere near the end
looking back at our lives
the tortoise and the hare
though we`ve traveled different roads
i don`t know if either would again
he with his many wives
me with only one
he with his many jobs
me with little more than one
brothers
one brave and confident
the other not so
the tortoise and the hare

Re: Brother

I have just the one brother who I lost contact with a few years back, I hope that some day we can once again see eye to eye, even though there was no argument or fight, I must have made some stupid remark that I would certainly regret if I knew what it was. Sorry about that, this brilliant piece of poetry reminded me that I am a stubborn and obstinate fool, and unless I am mistaken, the best poetry makes pictures in our mind and makes us face up to our lives. This poem does that in spades. Well done.

Re: Brother

Very well done, Easybeat ... the "tortoise & hare" summary is excellent ... really ties your thoughts together nicely.
