Life Forms: the Abcs of Being

A living organism accustomed to existing alive…adapted, acclimatized. Breathing bodies, beautifully behaving as created, before being theorized. Corporeal creatures controlled by character traits, occasionally compromised. Divergent life forms delicately merged into a “Web of Life”, perfectly devised. Entities experiencing individuality, establishing existence uncompromised, Frolicking through life; incessantly looking for forever, mesmerized. Gaining moral fiber through God given guidance sometimes, getting baptized. Happily honing one’s persona hoping to help dreams become materialized, Insightfulness encircles one’s sense of self to initiate a life-path individualized. Jovial jesters, bigwigs, or judges with judgments apprized. Kooky cool-cats, celebrities, or clowns cleverly disguised. Laundry maids, lucky leaders, or racers with wins realized. Milkmen, fishermen, or firemen with departments downsized. Noble work is any work of which a lifetime is comprised. Orchids, oxalis, oak trees, and sellers of fruits franchised. Penguins, porcupines, parrots, and peacocks with feathers prized. Questions surround the beings of which this world is comprised. Reverence remembers Noah's ark and the lives that were remised. Scientists study animals, cells, and quarks minuscule-sized. Tomorrows are predicted with their remedies advised. Ultimately, all beings will be recycled in to earth…revised. Victorious are earth's environments enriched by life's demise. Worldly ways and wisdom's walk in the end shall be surprised. Xanadu sought requires the power to choose right and be not chastised. Yesterday is gone, but life-luminaries were long ago stylized. Zestfully living righteously marks the path perfection realized. © November 8, 2011 Written for Poetry Soup Member Contest: Being Sponsored by: Paula Swanson
