Adam Piper Poet Free verse

Loose Ends

Can't try to escape
they reach out and grab you
wanna go someplace else
and leave it all behind you

But you can't
and even if you did
they are always
one step behind you

Loose ends
are meant to be tied
sometimes the knots slip
but we can say that we tried

Life is full
of unanswered questions
A mainstay of life
is to learn it's lessons
 
We learn and move on
and it remains the same

Do we give up
or continue playing
life's little games?

Mohammad Yamin September 12, 2008 at 11:30 AM Adam, your poem Loose Ends is admirable -highly philosophic. I agree with you when you say "Life is full of unanswered question". As Vince has said in his comments "Some people never learn." Thanks for your encouraging words about my poem Loyalty.

Vince Suzadail Jr. September 12, 2008 at 8:41 AM HI Adam. Good write, but some people never learn. We are still going to war as we did 2000 years B.C. Thnaks for your comments. Extreme liberalism or conservatism is wrong. I bet if both sat down and talked, a lot more could be done. Glad to see you back and posting. God Bless. Vince

September 10, 2008 at 7:23 PM So true. The question at the end leaves the reader with something to think about. Yes, and some times those knots do slip but we have to keep on trying. This is an insightful piece. Keep up the good writing! Karen

Derrick Burton September 7, 2008 at 10:06 PM great poem and makes you think about alot of things. thank you for your comments on my poem.

Sara Lokken September 7, 2008 at 11:15 AM That's a good question you posed at the end. Life is one big running around in circles, it seems. Very good point you made.

Heidie Buys September 5, 2008 at 3:53 PM Simply love this. So very true and very introspective. Wise words indeed. Well done. Regards Heidie

Sharon Winter September 4, 2008 at 4:18 PM Hmm...interesting question at the end. Perhaps there is an in between? Not good to give up, and playing games, well, that's just not real. Thought provoking write here. Seems like something is catching up with you. Good luck. Great write! Love, Shar
