You're a fantastic teller. Thanks for stoping in.<br /><br />@laspapi,<br />The poem is from a philosopher's point of view, as he tries to define life. <br />Verse 1 is just an introduction, where he compares life to a boring song. the "thumps" in this verse refer to his foot-steps.<br />Verse 2 ponders the question: "Am I alive because my heart's still beating?" The thumps here are his heart-beat. <br />Verse 3 ponders on death the "train-man", he holds some admiration for. But since the train-man came without his train, then it must not be his time to go just yet. Thumps here-- train-man's foot-steps.<br /><br />The last lines are a conclusion: "If I'm not dead-- I just saw the train-man, he didn't have his train-- then I'm still alive".<br /><br />I'm flattered by your invitation to the writers confrence in lagos. I will gladly attend if I'm arround. (Me writer? yeah whatever.. I like the title)Makhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051394602620626901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211418732645974738.post-72161105255971323202007-01-05T16:33:00.000-08:002007-01-05T16:33:00.000-08:00Hello mack,
