Jenish Somadas Poet Rhyme

Little That Lies In Our Power

Death is not your aim, Life is not for fame
Between lines of nature’s rhyme,
Luck is not the same.

Mouth is not to mime, lust and luster’s chime
Beggar’s garb on dame,
Why the heart not flame?

Tin of humanity shame, opened loud to blame
Without having the brame,
Uttered vanity claim.

Time is not to tame, minds of ruthless lame
Do your little dime,
Not for name or acclaim.

Eve Roper August 18, 2020 at 12:56 PM Great Rhyme with the majority being a Monorhyme. love the picture , it would have had a bigger impact if the heart was painted on children's hands. Jenish Somadas August 18, 2020 at 9:54 PM Thank you Eve.. Yes, I tried it as monorhyme.. And what you said was right about the hands.. Tiny hands will always make a greater impact..
