Scripted

Scripted

Such is life,
as we go,
stumbling through,
uncertain strife.

The play goes on,
curtain rises,
feign courage through,
another crisis.

Unwilling actors,
the end predicted,
we all discover,
life is scripted.

So play your part,
we're all conscripted.

James Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thanks Linda, I always accept constructive criticism, so feel free. The way I feel about poetry is that it is perfect in its imperfections. I'm sure I'll love your work.
