Nothing.

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 28, 2009, 12:08 PM
Well, today in English we were analysing poems to help us with our exams. Whilst doing that, our class came upon a poem by James Fenton. It's called 'Nothing', and even though we found it was quite a negative poem, I still thought it was quite a down to Earth and relatable poem, so I thought I'd let you all view it. It's definitely a great piece of poetry.

I take a jewel from a junk-shop tray
And wish I had a love to buy it for.
Nothing I choose will make you turn my way.
Nothing I give will make you love me more.

I know that I've embarrassed you too long
And I'm ashamed to linger at your door.
Whatever I embark on will be wrong.
Nothing I do will make you love me more.

I cannot work. I cannot read or write.
How can I frame a letter to implore.
Eloquence is a lie. The truth is trite.
Nothing I say will make you love me more.

So I replace the jewel in the tray
And laughingly pretend I'm far too poor.
Nothing I give, nothing I do or say,
Nothing I am will make you love me more.


Like it? I did too.
