Supper of Life

by Maple Tree   Feb 26, 2012


Took me a long time
to finish life's supper
for the table was too high
reaching the silverware
was next to impossible.

everytime I stumbled
within painful struggles
I would stack a phone book
upon an old wooden chair.

Within several years of hardship
I was able to dine upon inspiration
drink natures rain of tears from a cup
and have a tummy full of hope, peace

and love....

    This poem is so lovely, flowing very smoothly. I like how you expressed the emotions of the subject. 'Super of Life', gives me the impression of 'Hope', been positive always. No matter how life turns out to be; a light will always lurk at the end of it all. It's an inspiring piece and relatable to all. Remain blessed, Cheers! :-).

    Very intriguing write.The metaphors have depth and a very inspiring one indeed.Things start falling in place as we feel a ray of hope,which in turn gives us clarity.A heart full of love will always be in peace.

    It made think that hopes are created because of love.
    And peace is attain because of love and hoping al along. Though, peace is really hard to get when we worry for our love ones bit by hoping we get some balance. I agree with lioness. There is depth in this poem and I really like it.

    I love this.

    It makes me think of how we can struggle through life, how we can grow and mature. It is not just a simple poem about eating supper. Much more depth involved and I loved it!!!

    The images were awesome.
