Life is Not a Noun

....time for action....

upon looking 

in the dictionary 

I became a bit 

confused

searched for life 

and all it’s worth 

but I think it’s been 

misused 

for life they say 

it is a noun

but tell me how 

can that be?

for life is in 

constant motion 

life itself 

has set life free 

for life it is an

action word 

fully of activity, growth 

and vigor 

life it keeps on 

rolling on

it’s a verb and a 

constant trigger

so as we sit 

upon the fence 

watch as the noun of

life passes by 

perhaps we can ponder 

the action genre 

jump into life 

and learn to fly

Agreed! I loved this for its wit and is so true. Life is the verbiest verb of them all, lol.

Nice.

[Valentine]

Thanks for the chuckle. I suppose at different times it can be either. I prefer the verb as I do not want to cash in my chips until God calls me Home. Valentine

More I read your work more I fall into reality...that I am blessed to born in time when I can read your work and can write you at the same time...You truly are one of my most favorite writer after myself:)

[KWP]

you truly make me feel like my writing is worthwhile - in envision editing all my writing when I am much older - hopefully in an attempt to go deeper, further in - hopefully I will be a bit wiser by then ;) - I love it that you are your fav writer - that makes me smile XX

[A. Amos]

Well I am your true fan and glad I was able to make you smile:)

Love the concept KWP. I especially liked the last stanza- yes, maybe we all should take life that way and jump into it and learn to fly. After all we live just once.

yeah this pic was taken in Yosemite - ahh the snow - something rather surreal for a Sydney Gal like myself - oh yes the orbs - well one gets in touch with the orbs when one has a fascination with the sun - on purpose - I honestly cannot remember :)

Love to you E XXXX

I enjoyed this a lot - you are right, too often we see life as some THING instead of something that is happening to and around us all the time. We take for granted the time we have on this Earth - the one thing we can never get back, and it is up to us to jump off that fence and engage in it. Lovely piece!
