Poem Artwork

Why try to bring back pleasure,
          Of the past, n'er again?
Never again hold that treasure,
          Where for real or your pen.

Look ahead where the future lies,
          Walk briskly to your chance;
And not to moan, neither to cry.
          When you're there take your stance.

Ahhh, I've given up on the past,
          I've made my bed to sleep,
I have no need the past to ask,
          I've buried it all; deep.

I agree. It's better to buy the past deep where the sun doesn't shine.

Bury it deep, and keep it there, otherwise it's just baggage.

Sound advice. Excesses baggage costs far too much. I always travel light nowadays and throw just about everything away, except my poems! I will let others do that.

Reviewed on November 11, 2018
Excellent! I'm so happy for you to have dropped baggage that just weighs a mind and body down. I'm proud of you!

Love ya!

Jane

It's the only healthy way to live, Jerry. Pullin' that baggage behind you just gets heavier 'til you drop it off in a storage locker and lose the key. Nothin' like it. Also, grounding such focus in a write... ah, such good self-help.

This is an inspiring exalting-to-the-spirit kind of message that will continue to defy time. Right on JPB... r

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
