"Smart"

 

   "Smart"

 

Really smart...knew it all,

Showed the world, had a ball.

Super wise...needed no advice,

Mistakes...not made once,

Let alone...twice.

Above all others...like superman;

Holding the world, in my hands.

Yes...really smart...knew it all,

Put into place...had a big fall !

Asked no advice, wise men don't ask;

Mistakes made...in every task.

Rising really high, a real superman;

Then lost the world out of my hand.

Fools do learn...but...oh, so, slow,

Fall flat on my face...hear them roar.

Stupid fool..."We told you so!"

You are right my friend.
"Fools do learn...but...oh, so, slow,
Fall flat on my face...hear them roar.
Stupid fool..."We told you so!"
The above lines. True for many. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

A well structured treatment of the theme. This is a piece which will speak to many.
There are some aspects of the work which might benefit from some attention. However, as you have stated before, you write the way you write.

Much of my older work was printed in the paper and poetry books. Most things were just left as I wrote as they accepted my work without revisions. I just put down what God gives me. Kathie

If you believe this work is beyond the need of revision, then I strongly suggest you are mistaken. But of course you have a right to your opinion, as I do to mine. I will ask that you
stop sending me read requests.

Very nice. I think we've all been down that road. I especially like the line: "Fools do learn...but...oh, so, slow."

Thank you for reading my scribble. Kathie

I liked the whole work more than each part.You have drawn on emotions long forgotten. The speed is a little slow but the flow keeps our attention. "Yes...really smart...knew it all,Put into place...had a big fall !" is my favorit line. Good work.
