If I Am

This is a poem written in response to a lovely piece by Poetic Justice called "If I..." Please read this wonderful work here: http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/plelitte/709685/

If I am the journey

You are the road

If I am the cypher

You are the code

If I am the actor

You are the stage

If I am the pencil

You are the page

If I am the picture

You are the frame

If I am the player

You are the game

If I am the canvas

You are the paint

If I am the sinner

You are the saint

If I'm the ambition

You are the goal

If I am the science

You are the soul

If I am the riddle

You are the clue

If I am the wish

You're the wish that came true

Nice.........

Bravo maestro! This is a clever riposte, and reads as beautifully as the original.

I love it, wonderful. I love all the examples you've given, I love the rhymes as well, I believe you put a lot of effort in this fantastic poem! A great poem to tell what something/one means to you, to compare things. I agree with others, the ending have closed the poems well!
Nice written!

[Kes]

Wow. Absolutely love it. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. :P
Love it. This is so well done. I'm a massive fan of rhythm and rhyme and you pulled it off really well.
Great work.

reallly nice compliments poetic justice's piece its like a conversation...really sweet!

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Wonderful. These compliment one another well. I almost wish the last line to be,
"If I am the wish;
You're the coming true".
But this is lovely as is.

I love the way you put all these things together. It is a great way to tell someone how important they are to you. The flow is smooth and your words make perfect sense. I love the last stanza most of all and it sums up the poem very well.
