Cycle of Rebounds

in this frail life we take solid form ~ bouncing shadows upon the walls


next life may hold shades of promise ~ perhaps an eternity for all 


right now reflecting over past mistakes ~ are we making the right call


rebounding then failing each other ~ the drum beats to our own downfall

Paula Goldsmith Date: 12/20/2021 10:35:00 AM Your "cycle of rebounds" is a creative Monoku write. Good luck in the contest. Have a Blessed Christmas and 2022....................... Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/20/2021 11:14:00 AM Thank you so much for your visits and kindness Paula, I found this one difficult to approach without writing a book, so tried to get my message across in monoku form, cheers David

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 12/8/2021 12:35:00 PM I truly enjoyed your thoughts David, - the drum does beat to our downfall. In the Old Testament in the books of ECCLESIASTES AND ISAIAH it tells us to enjoy life as much as possible - Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die - blessings and hugs my friend, Jennifer.

Eve Roper Date: 12/7/2021 2:17:00 PM Interesting write, David, this life may be our hell, our death hope of peace. Good luck in the contest; Not one I would try.

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/7/2021 11:52:00 AM Thought provoking piece David, although we are slow in forthcoming to admitting our mistakes. Hope you weren't affected by Barra. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/7/2021 12:40:00 PM Thanks Tom, it’s a hard one to call admitting to our mistakes, human nature tells me it’s generally when it’s too late, yeah we got a fair pounding earlier, but to be honest probably a bit overhyped, maybe I’m in the lee of the Wicklow mountains, cheers David
