Funom Makama Poet Free verse

When Life Is Good

Wisdom and experience are gained from different people
acquaintances triple, exposure amazingly quadruples,
little efforts give positive multiple responses
and to mythical success stories, I’m an example.
Accentuating the happy countenance of survival like the dimple
but the road isn’t straight and not everything is simple,
making the beautiful side of Life my gentle half brother.

Before walking fine, I crawled like a cripple,
within the gland of prosperity, my success was like the nipple,
subjected into quality discipline in Life’s temple,
to bring out a fighter and a worthy disciple.
My rewards and rags, going side by side as a couple,
making me a self sample, hence growing my own permanent apple
as the beautiful side of Life confirms me a merited champion.

Herzel Poshiwa July 29, 2015 at 8:17 AM I got Goosebumps with just the first line. Why? I am a firm believer in wisdom being gained from several people esp. older people. Funom this poem is instantly my favourite. Life is a journey, you get to where you are going with determination and obstacles, whichever way actually. You have a special heart and mind. xx Funom Makama October 13, 2015 at 5:45 AM Thank you so much my most encouraging Herzel Poshiwa
