Life can be so hard

More rhyming practice

 

 

 

Life can be so hard

 

Stained by the illusion

Comets in my hair

Pardon the intrusion

Is anybody there

 

Stuck alone and reading

Words upon the page

Everyone is bleeding

Prancing on the stage

 

Masters of invention

Coupled up by none

Questioning intention

When the day is done

 

Dreams along the ocean

Beaches white with fear

Such a silly notion

Waves can shed a tear

 

Footprints left to wander

Washed out by the tide

Memories I ponder

Time to run and hide

 

Still you keep on looking

There upon your seat

Shouldn’t you be cooking

Something very sweet

 

I can’t stand this feeling

Waiting by the door

Moments time is stealing

Couldn’t ask for more

 

Just send me a greeting

Not some Hallmark card

Or I’ll run retreating

Life can be so hard

Rhymes don't have to be perfect. Like "the retard wore a leotard" or "my gums ache when I masturbate." It helps when they're a little weird too. Anyway, good rhyme and flow here. A mighty fine job.

BR, laughter comes easy when you're around. Thanks so much.

[Lyn Anderson]

Here's your greeting, Jack--
It's not a Hallmark card--
May our life be easy; (Well actually, I do sound like a Hallmark card...)
May it not be hard;
May it fill with fancies,
Light as foam and free;
May you find that life
Has beauty you can see.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Marie for the beautiful poem. I appreciate your kindness.

[Brittany Zedalis]

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Brittany.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

all the world loves her....all the world cries...all the world close their hearts....every time she dies.....I don't know where this stuff comes from Jack but here you go. It is the message that repeats in my mind as I read your poem. Hope it is of some value to you:) Your a great poet!

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my friend. Not sure that is what I felt when writing it, but you never know with me. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and leave such kindness behind.

i am reading this with the thought of Noah's Ark..

the ocean, the water, the ark...all the poets suffering, all those writing about pain...all in the ark safely, as the rest perish...

figuratively of course...the ark measured in cubits...is love measured that way also?

who knows...but yes, there is illusion and despair...

and we need some kind of a starting over.

this really moves me, Jack.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Jacob, I am thrilled you enjoyed this.

[Sami Khalil]

Indeed. Life can be hard along with all its aspects. Love needs sacrifice of time, sweat and blood. I saw in the night sky some comets so one went through your hair Jack...lol
A wonderful rhyming poem...May love bring you all right sailing boats...:).........................

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Sami. Really just practicing my rhyming with this one...maybe. :)

[Sami Khalil]

Good. You are welcome...:)................

[Frieda P]

Are you whinging again Jack, wait til Cassie reads this one, how on earth do you get comets in your hair, or better yet, how do you get them out? Perfect rhyming whine, would you like some cheese with your poem? ;-)

[Jack...]

Yes please, I would....what would you suggest?

Thanks so much my friend...

[Frieda P]

Hmm either a Pecorino Toscano or Robiola Piemonte would probably go best...

[Jack...]

Okay, but I'll need some olives too. Just saying.
