Try your own trek ........

-


Sitting pretty well
Within the four walls
You never  realized
The life beyond the bars

Being stupid always
Keeps you happy
Being timid always
Makes you safe

It requires courage
To be authentic
It requires conviction
To be estimable

I agree
Being ignorant always gives bliss
Life is a rose bed for the obliged

But you know dear….

There is a charm in being rebel
There is a pleasure in bearing pain

In life what you achieve by suffering
That’ the thing …that  leads to elation

Anyone can walk on paved way
Try your own trek dear…
You are sure to reach the peak!

LOvely, but you forgot to limit yourself to under 13 lines, as the prompt requires.

There is safety in our four walls, but I agree with your words, once we get past the pain there is pleasure!

Hi, thanks for sharing this get-up-and-go poem. A wake-up call. I like the first three verses - a poem itself which really works, I think. I like the way you use the house as a prison - a safe house - to create the image of breaking out and seeing what is beyond the barriers we create for ourselves.

"It requires conviction to be estimable..." What a fantastic line. Sure, it went longer than the required length, but as it unfolded, there was too much in the way of good thoughts to be counting lines! This is an unapologetic call to courage, to activism, to living life out loud. First time here, and thank God I clicked on you! Peace, Amy Barlow Liberatore

Really glad to hear all those good words from all of you...
This is the most number of comments I have ever received for any of my post.
But let me tell you... when I saw the prompt, I was thinking.."what kind of prompt?. it took me ~30 minutes to write and edit it...once I saw the product I was thinking like O.K.
But never expected this much appreciation
thanks a lot for every one for their appreciation!

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
