I hope you won't feel
Like you have slayed
Your life when you are
All grown and forty years
What's the point of living
Only a quarter of life?
I hope you won't feel
Like those queening
Days lasted for seconds
Early in your thirties
Have you ever thought that peace
Of mind is a lifetime adventure?
***The Book of Youth
very fine poem we must all remember there is only one life given enjoy it till you can erth alone is heaven Sir poet do read two of my poems MOMS SMILES AND MOTHER'S DAY TODAY U will appreciate
(cont.) you type: ***The Book of Youth....but never identify it or mention it otherwise. hmm? this poem could use some more work, but thanks for sharing. bri :)
(cont.) .. WHAT is forty years? the person's age? and how many years would be a quarter? and WHAT are queening days? the last two lines are very interesting; perhaps you could expand on them? from Google: Maseru is the capital city of Lesotho, a landlocked country encircled by South Africa...i've heard of Lesotho, but i did not know it was a separate country! (cont.)
You asked me obvious questions Bri, anyway check out the notes just for you and people who might wonder what a Slay Queen is.
for me, and i'm PRETTY SURE for some others, this needs some clarification, which COULD BE DONE in a Poet's Notes, BUT i prefer to not NEED a poet's 'notes' to understand a poem! what do YOU mean by slayed? ? ? i have some ideas, but you may tell me in a message. IF you just answer by responding on this page, i probably will not see your response! AND.. (cont.)
Bri Edwards I will put notes for you and define a Slay Queen. I am sure you also don't know what a Slay Queen is, so I will try to define her as little as I can so that I don't spoil my work.
A lovely poem about life. A life with peace at any age! Good message!
I read this poem and I saw the mission that the poet bears within himself: congrats riza...
