Analysis of Do You need to be a cramp?



Sometimes I have the voice,
Which may be hard to measure,
And my essential choice
Is to respect your pleasure.

If my opponent’s mad
With his attempt to bruise it, -
It’s not about the head,
But knowing how to use it.

Without points of view
Because of the scope’s assistance,
I am the something new -
Just joy of co-existence.

If grasp could be laconic
And radiant enough, -
It works like teasing tonic
And warp of chummy laugh.

Whoever watched a lamp
Until it’s smashed or taken?
You need to be a cramp
To make the thought awaken!

Leonid Rozumenko

Someone in your domain asks me to send a letter about myself. My pleasure - favorite topic. Who am I? Can’t keep a secret - athletic, open-minded, and generous, with a wide scope, love for women, good company. With love for science and to write something everlasting, which isn’t computer programming anymore. I was born in gorgeous Kyiv (Ukraine) more than 35 years ago, lived in the USA for longer than 4 years and my language is still in progress. My poetry is also a colorful picture of the unseeing battle between “yours truly” and English grammar. My Ukrainian or Russian accent has two unreliable reasons – it’s “for fun” and “hard to get rid of”. The meaning of my last name “Rozumenko” in Ukrainian is very close to “jaba-jaba a dada” in “Crocodile Dundee II”. I have several other weaknesses but I introduce them only to my closest friends. Yours truly, Leo Rozumenko more…
