If My Life Was Metaphorical Entertainment

Life is not perfect.

And if life were like a song

 And when those imperfections seem to be written

In a major key,

I will sing my song

Knowing perfectly well

That I am out of tune,

 But at least I’m singing on.

 

And if life was like Star Wars

And it felt like the sith

Ruled the word

I will become a jedi,

 because I know

The force will always

Be with me.

 

If life was a comedy club

I will always deliver

The punch line

No matter how many times I’m heckled,

For I will be laughing inside.

 

In conclusion

I will treat life

Like entertainment

Through the blockbusters and flops

And act out my improved lines

Until god calls a curtain call,

Or rolls the credit.

 

Even then there is no “the end”.

Reviews

[William Michael Reeves]

No end ... until there's a writers strike. The production values in life depend on so many things. God as a director. Your friends as producers. I hope your musical has come in under budget despite the cost of taking the whole production to a galaxy far away.

[Arundass TP]

Life is something I felt I don't know. Beautiful lines

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

This is a positive look at your life and the world in general. I applaud you for your outlook. I think many could benefit from this poem.

Great job, Cowboy.

You are welcome sir.

One thing is for certain ... life goes on. With or without us, failing or succeeding, it goes on. Our perspective determines everything.

I love these lines, especially:

I will sing my song
Knowing perfectly well
That I am out of tune,
But at least I’m singing on.

Until god calls a curtain call,

Even then there is no “the end”.

I sometimes feel like a little piece of a bigger puzzle, and that life is just a game. No matter how it ends, we start over, somewhere, somehow, and get to play again.. Enjoyable read with food for thought. Nice poem =)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

why thank you so much

[emmajoygreen]

This poem is unique: you've 'said' what is a poetic focus on how to be, how to stand up to life day by day.. whatever. Would if could use one stanza as a brilliant mantra. Bur each has power - even tho' gentle, to beckon our own thoughts and actions to follow suit. Great writing, Dale. Special.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

thank you so very much

[emmajoygreen]

Meant every word.. and more.

[Chris Shaw]

I enjoyed your metaphors here Dale. We are all players on the stage of life, it is said. The curtain comes down when our maker calls time. Have a great weekend. I enjoyed your words.
