People think I am a separator of two sentence
Surely, in my mind I have no vengeance,
I am just a full stop to a line
But I have more to gain,
I am a small round mark
But all can make me dark,
I am just a short click
And easily you can pick,
I am a buzz forming a letter
In fashion, I am used better,
I am a center point of two numbers
Hence, it is used by many members,
I am on every spot
Hence, People call me dot (.).
Bamboo has usage
For houses, accessories
It's craftsman's knowledge
In case you use not your skill
One day you may even lose it
Constant practice is a must
As it will polish our skill finely
Whatever may be your power
By not repeating a talent
You make yourself very weak
And cancel your expertise
Repetition is the best method
To preserve our dexterity wisely
Never stop due to sheer boredom
Practice makes one truly perfect
Let anything be the chosen field
Hard-work alone will perform magic
It will render miracles very easily
Hard-work has so far never failed
In case you now have failed badly
Forget the past and start with hope
Chances are bright to get victory
Successful people feel never tired
Enthuse your mind with optimism
Fill your heart with maximum joy
Let faith and trust give you scope
Adamantly believe that you can
Due to persistence and perseverance
Enormous energy is had by the mind
Positive approach becomes a habit
Goals are achieved, fame is reached.
“It is what it is” works like a charm --
One could say “it’s what it’s,” no harm,
For "it’s" stands for “it is,” in the grammar book
A fact every careful writer should not overlook.
“Its stand is admirable”; never “It’s stand is admirable”
In writing poetry, the correct form is desirable!
“It’s” doesn’t work when writing “its lack of pizzazz”
It’s is a contraction for “it is,” I repeat, and all that jazz
While “its” denotes “belonging to,” rightfully,
Use them correctly and your poem reads delightfully.
If I am wrong, please let me know right away
“It’s” a pet peeve of mine; “its” incorrect usage drives me insane,
When used incorrectly in a poem, indeed,
It tells me you did not proofread!
