Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Fault of Being Human

In the most anguished moments of my life
times when my mistakes cause me strife
I feel I deserve a birch wood beating
to go unpunished would be cheating 
and then I recall
that through it all    
with trepidation loomin'   
I am only human

Elizabeth Kinch June 17, 2017 at 12:33 PM Hey no one's perfect, from each mistake we make a lesson is learnt. Lin Lane June 19, 2017 at 2:33 PM Thank you, Elizabeth.

Tim Smith June 16, 2017 at 5:30 PM I don't believe anyone deserves a beating. We can beat ourselves up over the simplest imperfections but that is what makes us unique. Lin Lane June 17, 2017 at 5:30 AM We ARE our own worst enemy. Thanks for leaving a note on my door, Tim.

Daniel Turner June 16, 2017 at 5:24 PM A profound moment, Peaches? It's not easy being a human. Lin Lane June 16, 2017 at 5:27 PM Not as profound and humbling. We all have imperfections that we must accept. Thanks for reading, Danny.

Frederic Parker June 16, 2017 at 4:31 PM Aren't we all Lin Lane June 16, 2017 at 5:13 PM Yes, Frederic, we are that.

Dale Gregory Cozart June 16, 2017 at 3:00 PM I know how you feel; it says you're an honest woman. I like the honest way you have expressed it. It's almost as if I can hear you speaking. And I'm sure you always learn from your mistakes. But imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was perfect. Lin Lane June 16, 2017 at 5:12 PM What a nice compliment, Dale, and it's very much appreciated. I long for a world like that, where we're all different but one in which there is no malice.

Charlie Smith June 16, 2017 at 2:11 PM wonderful Lin, short and to the point. I love this one... Lin Lane June 16, 2017 at 5:11 PM Your comments always make me smile, Charlie. Thank you.
