X What Is Life?

by Sole   Apr 10, 2006


What is Life?
Is it breathing the sweet air as you run and play?
Is it the lovely scent of a newly baked cake?
Is it reminiscing on a beautiful day?
Is it summer fun, down by the lake?

What is Life?
Is it spending time with your best ever friend?
Is it the thrill of the newly discovered?
Is it writing long letters to send?
Is it looking into the eyes of a lover?

Life is;
Dying in polluted air we cannot see
Becoming poisoned by the devils bake
Reliving a painful memory
The freezing winter we cannot escape

Life is;
Missing someone who said they'd stay until you die
Finding nothing, when you prayed above
Writing a letter, and recieving no reply
Losing someone you love

    I liked the style you used in this poem.. the way you answered the questions with answers..

    It's kinda sad they're all depressing.. but hey. That's what life is.. it's depressing. What can we really do?

    Just a suggestion would the last line sound better as
    "losing someone you'll always love"
    i dno
    it just killed the flow a bit
    apart from that...
    great poem
