Life's Sketch

Life is but an artwork, Sketch of the creator's handiwork But life is at all times unfair Unlike some see it a funfair. Knowing our actions being the pencil And our inactions like silent counsel But we choose to live it our way Regardless of what happens everyday. When one frets his hour upon life stage, Time moves unconcerned at par with age Without a moment pause for a sigh But others could go on with hopes so high. Certainly, the choice of friend Could give one's life a miserable end. But our lives a meaning could give If we know in which action should we live Then our life's sketch needs nothing of an eraser And our choices would make everyone go wonder Knowing our life has been a flawless sketch But nothing compared to a wretch.

Majesty, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Universal theme, Majesty. Choices and actions, a hope that life is what we would like it to be. Welcome to Soup. The site encourages poets from around the world to both post and read poetry. There are many links which will help you find poems that you want to read, you search through poems by author, subject or form... the more you engage with other soup poets, the more likely your own poetry will be read. Thank you for sharing your work on Soup.
