HOW

A Poem by Tazeen Ahmed

all abt human nature.....

how exasperating are those ,

who talk more but convey less

how erroneous are those ,

who believe resourcefully but follow blindly

how flourishing are those,

who practice daily and succeed rapidly

how bizarre are those ,

who play cunningly and fail inconsiderately

how desolate are those ,

who chuckle abundantly but within remain lonely

how awful are those

who praise negligently but backbite deceitfully

how unfair are those

who blend easily with strangers but stay confined with familiars

how boastful are those

who have numerous pals but not a single true vigilant

how worthy are those

who know no bounds but limit their astounds

This is a very intelligent set of observations about human nature. I like that everything is original & not sounding like the typical traits noticed & written about. I like that your critical comments do not sound harsh, but stated as unemotional observations. Many times your unusual ideas are thought-provoking.

Line 6: "success" should be "succeed"
Line 9: "desecrate" sounds wrong, suggest "desolate"
Last word: "astounds" (usually a verb, but used as a noun) sounds wrong, but could pass for a "made-up" word to keep the internal rhyme.
