Analysis of A look at love



Stop being so delusional;
there is no such thing as love.
A man in love is one who lost a few screws.
Love is another word for insanity.

Remember Miss Ivy’s boy, the last one? …
Yes … it is the last one.
Remember how he went off to Canada
 and came back with his head so high,
claiming how much he’s in love?
Look at him now! As crazy as a bed bug.
The boy flies over the cuckoo’s nest.

I liked your father;
he was my best friend.
A better man than he was no where to be found
on God’s green earth;
I know because I’ve searched.
Your papa was a wise man;
he gave as much as that which was given him.

That love thing you speak about …
will make you half past crazy.
Love is for rich people …;
they can afford to be idiots.
I missed your father boy;
 I really missed him so much.

Earle Francis Brown

I was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I was told that I can write, so I wrote and continues to write. I am currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I enjoy reading "real" poetry. My favorite books are the Pslams, Proverbs and Songs of Solomon.Poetry is not just vocabulary, and use of metaphors and formats. Don't be tricked. Poetry should speak life. I love a poem that tells a story. The most memorable poems are the ones that tell someone's story. I don't care about ratings; the truth is always hated. People are people where-ever we go. more…
