One Day Only! .... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

One Day Only! ....

Rating: 5.0


What do you think of:

ONE DAY ONLY?
yesterday I had two days.
such controversial lines, methinks.
after reading this edit,

I started thinking
me-think repeated.
I discovered the response.
as soon as I saw One Day Only again,
I removed that within two days.
Sorry for the inventors,
they are not translators nor manipulators,
only benefactors for the big purse.
Controversial or not,
this is my disillusion
after the enchantment of Mae Sot,
the place appointed by God....

trading,
I never organize that thing,
I keep art and poetry as my relief
and I constantly believe in the only God

Just one day only?
you may have a thousand days,

for me is this situation
a shame to have that constantly
in my disposition
WHO said and told:
I am thankfully old
and with a thick purse,
I tell you my little "teufel", (in German for "devil")
you will get the curse

IF you will ever say about
that fat portemonnaye again...

Next time I'll have a brand-
new poem, ever heard?
About the Travel Bird!

What a fiery, incisive and brilliant write. I really admire this straightforward poem, one of the trademarks of the great Poetess. Liked the.title.too, very powerful.
