Unless of course, God casts them into the sea of nothingness, (Psalm 103:12) then they're just an unforgiven grudge. Beautfully written theme, in 8686 in abcb rhyming and smooth, articulate 8686 quatrains, blessings, Roy

A very well-written poem about how we perceive life and how we do things different than others but everyone believes his method is the correct method and the others have it all wrong.

    We can't all be right though. I guess we can only try our best. Thank you for your feedback.

Hello Delahay,

You're poem was fun to read and made sense as well. It had good rhyme, rhythm and it flowed well. And we all hope for that in our creativity. I don't think I fall into the category of your poem, at least I hope not. MY philosophy is, "They're all good days, some are just better than others". It is true, if a person loses focus, they can have a pretty sad life. Best wishes.

This was a good write, Delahay. I think you had a nice flow and the rhyme scheme worked nicely. The message was clear especially at the end. Nice job.

Hi Del,

Very nicely done! Your excellent verse speaks volumes of truth here, my friend.

My favorite stanza is the last one.

Nothing to suggest improving upon here.

Thanks for sharing,

Jan

Great poetry!

"You can build your funeral pyre
Paint it with a brush of fire
The lies you leave never fade
Cut on the edge of Occam's blade"

This is my favorite stanza, though the whole poem is written well and filled with bits that soar. I like the rhyme scheme and your rhyme very well. This is the first of your work that I have read and I am impressed.

You've done a very commendable job with this poem. You not only wrote rhymes well, you packed into each line and verse a contradiction of life that we've all experienced at one time or another. The only thing I'd disagree with is the last line about our deeds following us until we die. With Google, they'll follow us long past the grave. Thanks for sharing.

Yep so true. A lie is a lie is a lie and yet it is always amazing to see people deny they've lied when the evidence is right there. Ignoring it doesn't mean it didn't happen. lol

Excellent sentiment in a clearly stated poem. The simplest solution with the least assumptions is usually the right one.

Most enjoyable.

Gloria
