satisfy everyone ---- Shoot, I'd be happy just to satisfy ANYONE,
LOL .
But if you ask me, all of your work is satisfying.

Although, you might want to consider changing the
second.....



HAHA , just kidding :-))

If write simply, you jeer at
If hard or complex, point at

Hello AW, yet another good one. Keep them coming and take heart. TB

Amid the masses
beautiful flowers
live and die
through the pollution
only to be reborn
more beautiful.

Hi, Alcreator Writer!

I feel this fate in everything I do.
I don't expect to please anyone.
I don't expect to please myself, either.
It's impossible to satisfy everyone,
I just carry on with my fate.

It just goes to show..
You can please some of the people some of the time,
but you can never please all of the people all of the time.

Wonderful message here. I really don't like feeling that I can't
please anyone ever! But it does feel like that sometime.

Thanks for sharing.

I like this one. Either is is simple or I am getting the hang of reading backwards. Which ever I agree with you on this one. Everyone is a critic. Missy01

LOL! I'm really glad you wrote this. You are so right. It's just not possible to please everyone all the time. I was actually going to write a short story about this. In due time. This was my favorite of the bunch so far.

This sounds like the story of my love, I almost want to send it too her and say this is what I mean, I say left, you say right-- up, down
I can't say this is close to your intention as the author but this is what I interpret, I take from it

Very good. I appreciated how you were able to relate the frustrations of not being able to please people -- no matter how hard you try. The fact that you did it in so few words was an even greater task but managed with seeming ease! Very good indeed.

Really good piece here. Thought provoking to say the least...
my favorite lines were the last two.
But also, sometimes the simplest works can be the most complex.
Great tanka!
