Cowboys, Poetry, Music and Men

I don't really have much to say about the Cowboys vs Cardinals game yesterday. Injured QB Tony Romo did not play and the offense looked lost without him. If you take away the pick 6 on the Cardinals first drive, the score would more accurately convey the beating they took at the hands of the Cardinals. The offense did manage a TD in the 4th quarter but by then it was too little too late as they lost 28-17. 'Nuff said.

Saturday night after I got the Evening Concert up and made dinner, I looked to de-stress and unwind with my buddies D & J. J had provided some herbal stress relief and we sat on the porch reading passages from and discussing the works of Arthur Rimbaud. Rimbaud was a French poet born in Charleville, Ardennes.[2] He influenced modern literature and arts, inspired various musicians, and prefigured surrealism. He started writing poems at a very young age, while still in primary school, and stopped completely before he turned 21. He was mostly creative in his teens (17–20). His "genius, its flowering, explosion and sudden extinction, still astonishes".[3] During our discussion, it was brought up Rimbaud's belief that 'anyone' can write a 6 line poem. Each of us then composed our own 6 line poems and what was really uncanny was the thematic similarity of the poems derived independently by each of us. The poems are posted below for your enjoyment:

Today's the day, I have never felt before.
Sitting around and watching the sun grow.
I have see a child laugh and a man cry.
All the while knowing,
That the sun will fade
and burn into a soul that will live forever.

Long is the day,
Short is the night.
Under what tree lay
that man of insight?
Helping show the way
to trod the path of right.

The cool tide is striding against the shore,
Gold gleams glisten along the edges of the waves as they flow.
The cries of the tide remind me of the time
Your tears poured

O sweet, sour sorrow.
