Ploys of life

I do not comprehend
ploys of life
no nod for laughs aid no tears
ambushes at every bend
adds a proof
fate's cruel diversion with fears

gives not a chance to tend
any relief
to evade doomed souvenirs
abides all without end
disbelief
Paints future in uncertain veneers

tide of sorrows fend
Shattered reef
broken hopes crash piers
happiness shortened
by grief
silently again disappears

I am not as trained as you as a poet..I am just a 17 years old girl who tries to learn from talented poets like you..Clerihew is a new form for me..I also want to try it now..I feel that I can learn many things from you...
Keep on writing..

Your positive attitude and wonderfully sweet nature makes you very endearing to people you encounter. You are a brilliant 17 years old, I am sure you can do anything you want to and I wish you all the best sweetheart, Riddhi. You have a very lovely name.

I don't know my friend. I had more good days than bad. Life is fair. I liked the honest tone in your words and you did well with the Tri-fall. Thank you Mrudula for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Thank you dear friend for your kind words and I am a huge fan of your romantic writings.

You are very kind and you are welcome my friend.

The line “ploys of life” is so well crafted to bring to mind all the ways life can suck! Your poem hints at these ploys in subtle ways, not to make them out as huge issues, but more like endless mindless bothers along the way. I have to ponder some of your lines for a while and I get a variety of possibilities. The last stanza feels like a crescendo done in pounding seashore imagery (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Muito obrigada minha linda querida Margie. You have a spectacular imagination and a vocabulary to go with it, each and every review shows all of your knowledge yet a deep nterest in others writings. It is always a great pleasure of mine when you read my words. Thank you. Uma grande beijo.

You are far braver than me my friend daring to attempt something so very precise... and according to the rule books, you appear to have both succeeded and well and truly cracked it....and for what it's worth, I think I would have loved this little gem, even if it fell short of being a tri-fell... I usually like mine in strawberry, with loads of custard and whipped cream................. N x

[Mrudula Rani]

I love custard and cream, I am not a cake and cookies type. My dearest friend you always say the most sweetest words of encouragement to give me joy. Thank you with all my heart. Uma grande abraço bem apertado ( a big tight hug) thank you dear Neville.
