Okay, so they don't give me enough sixes to use. "No guarantees" sucks me right in and the rest flows like dandelion fluff. Oh, there's a challenge for you "dandelion fluff" - light, airy, capricious, childhood delight, God's perfect geometry! Go for it!!
Thanks for sharing.

I have to find my dandelion fluff haiku for you - I forget the title. :-) Thanks so much, Brooke

Sorry, I can't talk right now. I take a few days off and see what happens! I have to play catch up with probably the most prolific writer on the site - not to mention one of my favorites. Shh!

ROTFLMAO - I'm shushing!!

adewpearl:
I found "C'est la Vie" to be a meditative poem and I like it.
Sometimes unsettling too (just because the randomness of life still scares me a bit) and also beautiful in its truth.
What kind of poem would you say this one is?
The photo you've used is perfect; as delicate as your words.

What a wonderful piece of reflective, poetic thinking this one is, Brooke. And the title is jsut perfect too. It is one of my favourite sayings.
Nothing to add, no fault to pick - as if there ever could be from my favourite poet!

Comment from Xylok
wow; sorry i dont have constructive feedback for you; just wanted to say i love it exactly as it is. you prove to the longwinded poets of old that as much can be accomplished with a little as oftentimes can be with a lot. its a powerful locution regarding the arbitrariness and randomness of life too from where i sit as i read it, and i thank you for sharing it.

Comment from Stergios Palaras Jr
Such is life... like a seed in the wind so are my chances. I have to confess that without your author notes I would not have got it. But when I did I loved it. Such is life, seeds in the wind, my chances of becoming a writer someday... Thank you.

Excellent word choices produce a wonderful read. Each line is so perfectly constructed. Very much enjoyed this piece. The penultimate is just brilliant! Great job. Hugs and smiles, Susanne

I enjoyed your short philosophical poem the thoughts your words convey express more than is written. Too often we have encountered this senario your words have captured. jeana

Comment from AndStuff
I like this poem. It was short, sweet, and to the point. It was well written. It flowed well as a poem. I saw no grammar errors or typos. Good job!

Comment from fayesh
Brooke, I think the four lines are written well, and are very lyrical. For me, however, the four lines seem incomplete, as if they are the beginning stanza of a longer piece.
