Fate and Destiny

Ah! what an adventure life was!

There, I saw Fate await by Life's roadside.

She waved and waved her hand like my good friend.

I saw both smiles and tears in her brown eyes

the day I met Destiny at the dead end.

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Wow... incredible depth in so few words. An amazing talent/accomplishment!

So much to contemplate of life in this short poem. I found myself moving through childhood to present times, with many pictures flickering in my mind of people I have met on the way. I saw Fate with all the promises of what the future could bring. Destiny still awaits me. I love your poetic expression and wonder why I have not come across your work earlier. Thank you.

The joys and smiles of meeting Destiny, but the tears at it being at a dead end. This is short but very powerful. I really enjoy the imagery too. Makes the reader contemplate their life path and even the 'Fates' that we might drive on by. I really enjoyed this,.
Best wishes,
Laura

Yes - predetermination by a guiding unseen force - as we are presented with choices as to which way to go - for good or evil! Nice write my friend... :-)

[Stella Armour]

In life we have equal amounts of smiles and tears , which you are reflecting on at life's end..as your final journey in this life takes you to whatever comes next ...

i always say "less is more" and there is so much between the lines here...
almost like emily dickinson's "because i could not stop for death"---this could either be the speaker at the end of it all reflecting, or just a wake up call to make the most of life before we hit that dead end.
nicely done.

Thank you for your time in honestly reviewing two of my poems.
And I appreciate the comparison you make here with my poem and Emily Dickinson's 'Because I could not stop for death'. I do now see the link in theme once you since you pointed out. I must admit tha we poets have somehow parallel thought pattern though each individual is unique.
I usually write upon a spontaneous gut feeling inspiration, this certain urge and desire to capture a specific mood, theme, subject or emotion. And I usually depict wha is necessary word for word in terms of concept, context and content.
And this poem here is the summary of a life fully lived with its pros and cons towards the inevitability of departure to the next world, generally speaking.

This piece might look less but it actually has a very important message. Nice work

[Onlyme]

Wow, creative, clever and short, straight to the point. And speaks volumes. As destiny sure tells us when she is coming.

[wordman]

i guess we just seem to know when destiny knocks on our door
