Wisdom


When I asked for wisdom,
I did not know.
That my life would change,
like rain to snow.

Now that wisdom,
I do not lack.
I greatly wish,
To give it back.

Wisdom burdens
body and mind.
I think of how
I spend all my time.

Each choice I make
carries a toll.
That is taken upon
my very soul.

It is too late,
no turning back.
Wisdom I will
not ever lack.

Once a fool,
but no longer.
I will continue
to grow ever stronger.

I know the one
from whom this came.
My life is not
some silly game.

The choices I make
every single day
will mold and shape me
as potters shape clay.

What is wisdom?
To know brings pain.
I have changed,
like snow to rain.

SKILL. I am HORRID at poetry =C HORRID. It took me six hours to get four stupid lines >_> I am not kidding. And the other time I had to make some nonsense story through poetry so I told a story about saving a pickle =\ XDD

But yeah that's really good =. IMO And expresses the point.

Thanks Mega!

It's a simple poem though. There are far more complicated types.

I did have a bit of help editing it too. (changed like 2 words Razz )

Aw. This was nice, JB. =)

Poetry can be pretty complicated to write. It's not just about making something rhyme or experimenting with various styles, it's about making what you write not only make some kind of sense, but have some kind of theme, and even better, invoke some kind of feeling and/or emotion. (though, idk, this probably depends on the subject, and how deep you really wish to take your thoughts.)

Now I'm no expert, so I could be talking out of my hat for all I know; but honestly, imo, it's good.

You should give poetry another shot, sometime. It seems to be a dying art. I've done some myself, but it's been an awfully long time.

I used to have a passion for wanting to write, and unfortunately for whatever reason it's not something the Lord has fueled lately.

If He ever does inspire me to try again I'd be happy to.

Thanks for the comment and thanks for reading.

They might have been gone in China with all the rest of the stuff we lose.

I should tell Pudding to put a fancy smiley somewhere. Wisdom (A Poem) 1514227868
