Simple Life

Simple Life

Under scorching sun
Struggling hard with fun
Not worry for tomorrow
From no one I borrow
Today is the most important
Nothing for me to lament
I feed on my hands' work
With my feet I walk
I breath the fresh air
To do this everyone is fair
How the life is harder
I'm still glad to struggle
No need to boast in skycrapper
No time to turn before mirror
Do not want gold or silver
But everyone them desires
I do not long for luxury
But for necessity
I like singing to be happy
But I hate to be sleepy
I mostly prefer simple life
With no one I want to fight
No magnificient tomb where I die
But on the same ground like all lie.

Thanks a lot for you praises to my poem. I so much regret for my past times before I have joined this site. I wrote many poems but there was no one to comment on my work. I just saved them. I'll upload my poems and share all you. But the best reply I expect from you is to comment my poems by your pure opinions.

I would say free verse. I prefer this one to the other one. There is more complexity to your thought. There is also great wisdom. Welcome to the soup Mung, keep on writing. Also look up the forms and try your hand at different ones. You have a good base to build on, think of the forms as tools with which to express your poetic mind.

I thank you more than I can mention. Your advice is the one I passionately long for. I think Sir, you have more experiences than me because you're English native speaker. I have to learn more. I mean I should have constant study. Thanks a lot for your advice.
