What is Life

enjoy

what is life
is it as dull as a finger tip
or sharp as a carving knife

life, in my opinion
is a territorial dominion
with other difficult situations
that hands you accommodations

life can also be a flower
that blossoms every hour
with magical powers
but can turn sour.

to some, life is worthless
but nevertheless
its their opinion
and who am i to start that rack and pinion

so, to be true
as blue
i look into the eyes of life
and that is you

Author's Note

Be truthful! :)

Good poem! You wisely point out life is what one makes of it. You can take the stings and jabs or you can turn it around and look for the better side. It is just having the initiative to do so. Even if it is the remindeer from something that is very simple as a hint of a scent to a happy familiar occurance or finding someone to share it with, there is joy, you only need to take a moment to say this is the way I will live it. Great job. Keep the pen moving.

A thought provoking, interesting piece.

This was a very amazing poem.
I loved the sound of it when I read out-loud.

"to some, life is worthless
but nevertheless
its their opinion
and who am i to start that rack and pinion"
i loved that part because the beginning of it is so true.

I liked this poem. It was really 'gentle'. It wasn't like some of the other things I've read about life. Yours was great. Good job..

Great rhyming! I like this one a lot (of course) and the ending makes me feel happy and makes me smile. This is great! :D

Good, deep, thoughtful. Makes the reader stop and think about their actions. Life is all those things you pointed out and more.

Great job! Keep writing!

It's something soft I will say that. Not bad soft, but like a soft touch. Like it gets to the reader and tells them what to do. Hey man good ob keep it up! ☺
