Fixing our own mistakes can be quite a vexatious trial Laughing at our errors often brings us a humorous smile Asking others for assistance is not a sign of weakness What it shows is a humble nature known as meekness Because of our human imperfection we get things wrong That doesn't mean our resolve and patience is not strong Seek to find the solutions you may have known all along It just takes some trial and error to go that extra furlong Procrastination is not the answer, for it will only prolong finding explanations for problems that gather in a throng Get to it! It's as simple as stabbing meat on a fork prong You will be elated with your life and singing a new song Don't digress. Be determined to dissuade dense denial Upon a first reflection, no human achieves perfection Even following direction, we still need some correction Fixing our own mistakes can be quite a vexatious trial Word Pairing: Trial and Error =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= February 2, 2016 4X4 Master Rhyme Contest Sponsored by: Silent One

The story line flows smoothly and sets the pace for this poem. The theme is maintained throughout the poem and the imagery is good. Well done. Emile.

Well aren't you something? lol and I'm sure no one else will see this, since it's open to public scrutiny...Good one, Sage, and thanks for the compliment.

wow! trial and error, an excellent take...and you've penned it well, trial and error is really a sequence of some parts of life...excellent write Lin, best of luck in the contest...(and before I go, I want to tell you this, don't tell anyone i said this, I once did try an error with medicines because my maths teacher taught us try an error solution to math problems, you know how it is, there was like 17 different drugs so I had to try using each one to see which will work...and luckily, I had to use 16, the 17th really work...and it worked out an error! Lol... just joking)
