Rama Balasubramanian Poet Imagism

Bad Is Good

If there were no bad days, we would never realise the value of good ones
If we are never sad, we will never appreciate the joy of happiness
If we don't fall sick,  we will not realise the value of good health
If we don't have any enemies, we will never realise the worth of good friends
If there were no autumn, we would not appreciate the beauty of spring
If there were no death, we will never enjoy life fully
Juxtapositions make life interesting, propel us to count our blessings 
But for them life would be so boring!

Beryl Edmonds August 2, 2021 at 6:58 AM Excellent write Rama, we do need to see the juxtapositions (love that word, it’s new to me) in life to realise how blessed we are. All the best for Chantelle’s contest… Belle

Caren Krutsinger July 31, 2021 at 7:14 PM You have shown this in an incredible way here "Juxtapositions make life interesting, propel us to count our blessings " Wow!

Sotto Poet July 31, 2021 at 1:03 PM You did a great job! You have a great deal of untapped potential. The writing was amazing, Rama, we usually need bad times to appreciate the good ones, and the juxtapositions are a great way to keep life moving.
