Life Poem by Jacqui Broad

I feel what you are saying.This rhym describes my younger life.

A great poem with real emotion, we can all feel like this at some point in our lives, but we all must rise out if it, to become what we must become.

Great poem J, well captured emotions.you can tell, its from the heart...your pain is clearly uncovered..that point you're in now, that cross road you're in, i was once there...i felt lonely...i felt unloved, i felt sorry for myself...but one day i woke up with a smile on my face, the first thing i said when i greeted the morning was, 'thank you God, you pulled me through'.i understood and realised God couldnt bring me that far to abandon me there...i greeted people with a smile and i always received a warm one back, i made friends, i didnt make people love me, i just loved them..a wise woman once said to me 'LIFE'S PROBLEMS WOULDNT BE CALLED 'HURDLES' IF THERE WASNT A WAY TO GET OVER THEM'....

A great poem from a great poet.......you have just explained the truth....... there is a flow in each line.. top marks! ! ! ! ! !

In this dog eat dog world, in the world of robots, I feel alienated from the society. I lost my senses and feeling insane. I hope you know why! Anyway wisdom lies in poem. So yet again you have written a sumptuous poem African Dove! Hope you catch my lonely............ Life has become so bitter-sweet, since I have no friends to greet...'

Dear Jacqui, Life seems extremely complex. If we try to understand all turns and twists, we can come but to one conclusion: we cannot understand all turns and twists of life. Sometimes like so eloquently expressed in this poem, when everything seems all right, disaster strikes, leaving us in a bit of a mess. Yet somewhere deep inside, I tend to believe that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we see the reason for something negative that happened only years later (e.g. in 2010 I fractured a vertebra on the way to a tropical island.3 months of forced bed rest. Was like thunderbolt in a clear sky. Now I can see so many positives happened during that 3 months of forced break from a super hectic life. One of the positives includes the discovery of this website that gave me so much joy and friendship and an outlet for my own creativity with words, that I had not yet explored before) . For other things we cannot see what is the meaning of it happening. So many cruelties, we cannot explain. And yet there may be a meaning. Sometimes I think our human mind has not been evolved or matured enough to fully grasp what is happening in the world. The one year old child playing with a shiny knife feels being treated unfair when it gets taken away from him. No way the child will understand the unfair event but yet is has happened for a reason. At a much higher level I think sometimes we have just to accept things without understanding the reason. I think my comment is getting much too long. This is a very deep and thought provoking poem, excellently written. I am so happy you are back, and look very much forward to your next poems.

I like this poem, i havent read this before..it just like a contrast of two moods...and like wondering about what life really offers..bitter sweet.
