So This is My Life

Ruminating on my day to day existence

 

 

 

I love to play

my video games.

They keep my days 

from all being the same.

 

I pass much time

watching TV.

It helps  keep me

from feeling so lonely.

 

I love to read.

I'll read any book

except for those

that teach you to cook.

 

I write poetry

though less than I should.

I guess because

I'm just not that good.

 

So this is my life

in my latter days.

Lord knows it's changed

in so many ways.

That's not true! You're a great poet.

This poem was fun and slightly upbeat, and it kinda makes me wonder, if I wrote a poem about my day to day, what would it be like? An excellent poem.

sooo...did you get the new Grand Theft Auto? My man's son had to be rushed to the store on the day it came out and I got to watch him play online. Do you have an Xbox? Playing games with others online may help you feel less lonely while playing I think. The boy has a headset and is always talking (shouting) online. I swear he's an internet bully. But....he does enjoy a good game online with others.

I liked this piece. While it is very sad coming from my good friend and hurts me to read, it's also a little light hearted and it flowed very well. It's a good piece, my friend, and I hope your loneliness dissipates...it's a sad place to be....I know, I used to live there.

Oh, d****t. This is so sad. Every read it gets a little sadder. Buck up, camper. We love you.

To quote a reply by my older son "I feel your pain." An odd expression for a Marine which when he first said it I had to stop and think, but now I know. Peace, my friend, find peace in the happy memories of the little ones we raised from squalling infants to adulthood.

i can identify with this :) stepping back and examining the everyday sheds new light on our day-to-day... (and i like my video games too!)

Excuse my language, but CRAP, man!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have a talent that is difficult to master. But you have succeeded. Your rhyming skills are to be envied, and your choice of words always flows perfectly.

You rock!!!!

LOVE IT!! Why no cookbooks? I agree with Jester Zant...fun and upbeat. Love the slight rhyming. Thanks for sharing.

As long as you like what you write then that has to be the most important thing.
I liked this piece....so that makes you and me...oh and look there are others below me that liked it too....
You are a good writer.Well done on this

[V. K. Harris]

You do write and very well indeed, well done my friend.

"I write poetry

You're developing a following, so I hope you don't seriously think these lines are true! Great job. A very interesting match to your poem " Can't wait to go". Similar themes ( boredom, loneliness) but slightly different feeling.
Loved it! They are both great!

[Enigmatic Amor]

The rhyming keeps the poem upbeat even though you are appear to be speaking about boredom and loneliness.

I would really like to see you dive into the feelings you touch upon. Perhaps if you let loose from the rhyme and form...I would be interested to see what you find buried there.

Nicely done, my friend.
