Hi there;
I think we all make lists in our heads. We list the things we should do today, and we list the wants and needs of our life. To think about the things we want to do or accomplish before our time is up is a hard thing - but necessary.

Thank you for sharing this thoughtful poem,

~patty~

I've already made my list. I like this poem, it points out how short life can be so we need to take advantage of the time,we have now. I also like how you formatted the work. Thanks for shatibgva good idea.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. I am glad it resonated with you.
What does shatibgva mean and what language is it?

A very well-written poem about a list of things we will like to do before the end of our lifetime here on earth. Tick them off one by one to.make sure everything is done.

Everyone need to slow down the hustle and bustle and start filling the time with wishes and dreams. Thanks Sandra.

It's an interesting and profound poem, packing quite a bit of deep meaning into just a few words.
I had a friend who died of cancer a few years ago. I was delighted to be able to help her accomplish one thing on her bucket list which was to go to Walt Disney World. My bucket list is very heavy. It's time I started!

Great poem. Nothing to suggest for edits or corrections.

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words. I have started doing things on my bucket list and will continue to do the things that
can be done.

Amen, DragonPoet. I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly. Instead making the list, just do it, and check it off the list. Tomorrow is not promised to all of us.

In it is brevity, this poem speaks volumes, and it provides much food for thought.

You did an excellent job in format and thought.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Interesting take on the topic. Certainly, our lives are finite. However, does one spend all one's time making a bucket list of wild things to do? Or does one spend more time just living one's life?

This poem encourages getting more out of life. A worthy mission.

Stylistically, does "So..." deserve it's own line? It might work better combined with the next line:

"So... do it all"

Just a thought. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the review. I thought the extra space gave you more time to think about
doing the things on your list. Originally I had those three single lines as another trecet
but I thought singling them out gave more emphasis. And I wanted the poem to end
as it started.

Thanks for the encouraging works, dip. I am slowly working on mine, also. I haven't been in print yet. Maybe next year. Maybe you can give my tips.
