Victor Nwakanma Poet Free verse

Sweats and Sweet

Life has its side not fair at all
To till the earth and break rocks
To make our nest with claws of hulk
To try our best and fit the world
No time to rest but just to work
We know no guest who wants to knock
The fruits we heist we can’t seem to pluck
But leave the rest in the hands of luck

I once saw the side so fair to me
Opened so wide opportunities I meet
On beds of roses I pose to eat
My joy didn’t hide to share my tweets
I sure did ride on iron as feet
And were seemed hard with ease I hit
The hides are now mild to feet my teeth
If I hadn’t tried, I wouldn’t know how sweet

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser June 28, 2015 at 10:24 AM Victor, Very good flow. Simple words were used but really are thuds from line to line! There is the intensity that goes with the way you present the theme which hits good! "making nest with claws of hulk---mmmn like that" The stanzas can stand alone making it a two poem in one for me.. =) I like the second stanza best. CONGRATULATIONS!~Olive Eloisa Victor Nwakanma June 30, 2015 at 8:13 AM wow! you mean you saw all of this from these few words?, thank you Eloisa Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser June 28, 2015 at 10:27 AM It must be noted that James and me went to deliberation to consider this entry as it doesn't have date However, since, it carried the title we required.
