Notes About The Poem

This and That - Decastich

~This and That~ 
(Decastich) 


Life is short and the length of our life is not of our control. 
In our lifetime we often run and then we may fall. 
Some blame this and that, and make all kind of excuses, 
As we all turn the tables and sing sometimes the blues. 
These are some of the things that some of us do and choose. 
When we hear a sad report or some bad news, 
Let's remove from our minds what we can not use, 
And treat with care/appreciate what we don't want to lose, 
Because great things in life you wish only to produce, 
And the length and quality of life we shouldn't never misuse.

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty January 5, 2015 at 10:59 AM Yes D we should not compromise on the quality of life. The length of life of course is of God's providence. You have a strong sense of synergism pervading all through. Specially I mention the use of pictures. I love to believe the lips and eyes in pic are all yours.Take care.
