the great divide

Contributed by sometime_around_midnight on Monday, 6th July 2009 @ 11:33:15 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Across this divide I will travel. I will tell myself not to look down for if I do I should surely fail.

Failure is a life or death matter. If I fail I will surely die. It seems to me that's a tough call.

For if I die surely nobody will care but what would it mean to the ones who didn't have a say?

I suppose it's a personal choice for me but I would change formatting to more like:

Across this divide I will travel.

I will tell myself not to look down

For if I do I should surely fail.

Failure is a life or death matter

If I fail I will surely die.

It seems to me that's a tough call.

For if I die surely nobody will care

But what would it mean to the ones who didn't have a say?

Seems more like a poem to me that way instead of an essay.

Nice message but I think I would have spent more time on it and tried to possibly make it more of a flow than a statement.

In, addition, it's "I", not i. All "I" references were lower case before mod corrected.

Take care,

Tim

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
