Best Life Lesson Poems

I love being young, getting to ride the roller coasters.
The sound, tick, tick, tick, tick-like a heartbeat racing to the top.
Then, surprised even when you know it’s coming, dropped into the abyss.
Something always pulls it down, like gravity.
It’s frustrating, riding something so close to being...

How thrilling was a novel long ago
I read for school: A Tale of Two Cities.
It tells of common people whose great woe
comes from the upper class’ atrocities.

A doctor tortured in Bastille has been released.
To London he returns and regains his health
with his daughter Lucy’s help....

A barrister tottering through alleys of London,
  Alcohol-shamed when espied;
Slinking home at four in the morning,
  To a pillow of tears never dried.

Sidney Carton's the wretch whom others denounce,
  He groans at his puffy, ruined face in the mirror;
Daring not to yearn...

Tup tup tup, Her flimsy wings flutter
Tik tik tik, She knocks the inner door
Appears to connote life lessons
Could be heard only if we listen

Tethered her body and mind inside dark chrysalis
But blissful life, her soul envisaged and analysed
Soon emerges from a monochrome cocoon
And gracefully dances...

Sitting, cradled in the limbs of what I had determined
was the most secure outpost of childhood uncertainties,
I came to the realization that I alone had just discovered
the relationship of death to life.  This elder statesman of 
Oak, that held high court over my uncles...

Some are good and some not great

God's life lesson
found in his reflection
that he created in his image
was to learn never to discard or disregard the importance
or love he had for any of his creation
but to improve on them in every way
the meaning of life
love
fate
time
destiny
mankind
and life itself

He did this to surprise himself
and...

The "friend" I thought was closest to me is actually very far away. 
I sat here and thought that everything was okay, 
One day things started to get hectic and I looked around 
For the friend I thought would be there to stable my ground......

She searches and looks for Mr. right
A strong man, a shining knight
Looking and searching for someone to hold her close
To comfort her when she needs it most

Approached by a man with no one else on his mind
He believes she's a woman worth all his time
To...

Life Lesson #1

They can slice to you like a razorblade,
cut sharper than a knife,
the deep wounds  that they inflict
can hurt your heart for life.
Cruel comments said in haste,
their lingering echo’s stay,
you can’t take back what has been heard
no matter what you say.
There’s a theory...

long after a full moon 
had thrown its arms around the sky
I stood with Al Stone 
ignoring the futility in our lives
adolescence gave way to manhood
or so we like to believe
our ideology stifled 
from a serious lack of dreams
with the care of a midwife 
removing...

I failed at love once long ago
When I was a young man
In my soul and bones I know
I will never fail Love again

There will never be my selfishness
Or lack of consideration
I will not be so very helpless
In the face of provocation

I will always keep things...

My rose bushes are lusher than ever this year.
For soaking rain and warm days abound,
Though with too little sun I fear.
Still, they give me many blooms that astound.

Their gentle glow lightens any despair, 
On return from the chaos filled outer world. 
Sweet, spicy, fruity and...

I think I've learned more in this past year
Than in all my years before
As the reality of this life
Tends to show me more and more

I may have saved a man's life, just last night
But you won't see me keeping score
You can bet, Im gonna stay...
