Life Is Likened To a Big Classroom

Life can be likened to a big classroom,
Sometimes it takes years to pass the test.
Each failed test one is filled with gloom,
Life can be likened to a big classroom.
Babes are taught things while still in womb,
In this journey of life, one must do their best.
Life can be likened to a big classroom,
Sometimes it takes years to pass the test.

Hi Alexis, life is like a big classroom and so is PoetrySoup, I’m learning new words every day like, flipped the bird and summer salt, had to look them up when I read your poem “He got flipped the bird”… Belle :-)

Thank you so much, Belle. I agree poetry soup is a gigantic classroom. I have learned so much. * Flip the bird is saying that refers to some sticking the middle at someone. I appreciate your continued support:-)Alexis

Sad that it is so hard for us to learn, but alas, we humans take so much time to get our lessons. If for a contest, reads like a good contender. Thanks for your nice comment on my work. Sara

and some unfortunately barely get to START the test, and they are taken from us, just like that. Very nice one that makes us think, Alexis. Well done in the form.

Good one, Alexis. And so true. As a matter of fact, our life's journey is always a classroom, don't you think? See Lasaad below. That man is so brilliant.

GREAT POEM, ALEXIS. INDEED LIFE IS A LARGE CLASSROOM IN WHICH WE LEARN NEW THINGS EVERY DAY, SO WE MUST MAKE EVERY SECOND COUNT TO IMPROVE OURSELVES AND MOVE FORWARD.
