Success

This is a poem from my soul and heart.....

Someone said earning honour is success ,

Other said earning money is success , 

Yet another said earning position in society is success ,

But i said

Earning happiness is what is success.

                                                                 Success is the enchanting word ,

                                                                 the bewildering noun ,

                                                                 the horrifying feeling ,

                                                                 and the beautiful treasure.

For what a student wakes till night

Takes water on his sleepy face and again studies ,

A dancer though tired

practices his dance ,

A musician pains his throat

But again and again sings his song ,

This is success.

                                                               The meaning of success might vary ,

                                                                But the centre of attraction it offers

                                                                is the same be it Anne or Mary ,

                                                      

Someone wise said

Running behind money is what makes you mad

but in every work searching for satisfaction , 

is what makes your every reaction a successful action.........

Enjoyed it. Success can mean so many different things to so many different people. I think that making a success in life is to be content with what you have and what you have achieved. Family is success. Work is success. Money is success. Maintaining ones values is success. Comes down to who you are and what you value; (Anne of Mary).
Keep it up. A nice read

[Riddhi]

Yeah..I do agree with you and thanks for your review...

[Amanda Trerotola]

Success is truly what you make of it!

[Riddhi]

Hmm...I agree with you...

The way you make words rhyme is very cute and magical. I like the simple language that is used to state profound ideas. Keep going.

Thank you Kichu...

I like your visual choice of creating a typography aesthetic. They say that intention could launch a whole bunch of perspectives. What if you put all of the stanzas on the right side, why not the left? You chose to make a statement by separating the lines. That could put a whole bunch of meaning into each individual stanzas and really draw on the strength of each line individually. Nice prose!

I like the structure of this poem. Not a typical structure, but effective for this work.

Too many people now a days put money as their success in life and I have never been one to use that method. This work shows what a really great way of thinking of one's personal and emotional success really contains. Great work!
