Poem of the Day for 07/15/26 Pointless by Sam Roberts Wasted afternoons of daylight Drying up the sun and skin wilting; My tender Childhood skin is watched by my eye Changing; stalking my hands flowing like ink and water, uniting I am a child again, My fused lollipop mind makes everything seem - (Pointless) Everything twists spontaneously , and tastes sweet Like marshmallows on sticks Warming and melting onto the fire Until it drops like all this - (pointlessness) And your eye is the witness of ageing. You disappear under the sheets the ink stains; soaks into wrinkles and dries your tears 12/02/2003 Visit Sam Roberts's Library Pointless Copyright © 2026
