A lovely thing it is  
People want it forever
Paper currency can’t buy it
It is everyone’s only wish
Not long it’ll be before the worries of life come back
Every moment needs to last
Savour it while you can because
Sadness comes back

Beautiful and sweet
Its a valuable thing
It is all you will ever need
Some parts are good, and other parts aren’t
Its hard to get through all of it by just yourself
And you never know what you are gonna get.

Inside, alone, struggling after  loss
Don’t want to do anything, feeling done
An empty apartment, feeling distraught

9 PM, microwaved pizza, plated
Don’t know what to do anymore, just lost
Life not going well, you feel frustrated.
Thrown away like you’re nothing, like exhaust.

But don’t give up, there’s so much life to live.
Do not stop yet, your life will come around.
No matter how they treat you, do not give.
Just keep on fighting, king you will be crowned.

You will have to swallow some bitter pills.
But in some time you’ll live in those sweet hills.

(It doesn't format well in padlet, but I assure you these are quatrains and couplets).

It's been so long you see; 
There's much more life behind me now
Than out in front of me.

There was a time, when not so sure; 
I thought to end it then.
I didn't see how one could live
Without much joy and win.

But I found out you can endure
Without a special one.
And after all, it must be said; 
Of fate, what's done is done.

And so I choose to carry on 
With life and burdens bore.
I hope if I can carry these, 
God may not give me more.

But if He did, I hope He'd grant, 
My just one simple plea; 
To end my life with one great love
Who'd bring great joy to me.

So now I'm near the end of life, 
My joyless days near done.
I'd lie if I would dare to say, 
I never did have fun. 

But what is true, and that's the rub, 
Of life, don't you agree; 
Is love is really what's required, 
For joy to be set free? 

So on it is with what remains, 
I hope, not very long; 
Of life, perhaps to know great love, 
If it should come along.

And as I go my separate way, 
I'll not begrudge their joy; 
If others feel what I once felt, 
When I was just a boy.

Instead I'll smile and just recall 
The joy I felt back then.
And know that I'll feel soon enough
Love's wondrous joy again. 


This poem is from someone who is near the end of their life, and is kind of depressed and lonely. He talks about how he has all these burdens he caries, and how he is thought about suicide. He also talks about how he just wants a special one to feel joy's warmth. This poem makes me feel kind of sad, from how he talks about how horrible it is and how bad he wants love. I was also feeling kind of sad when he talks about looking at people that are happy and just recalling the joy he felt as a boy.
The author has all of his stanza's set in quatrains, with each of the quatrains having a ABCB rhyme-scheme. The poem has a great rhythm, in each quatrain the first and third line have eight syllables each, while the second and fourth line have six syllables each. The author doesn't use metaphors and also doesn't use much personification. All in all, it is still an amazing poem.]]> 2018-03-02 16:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/abraich22/xgan4sduvq9i/wish/237486333 Definitions abraich22 https://padlet.com/abraich22/xgan4sduvq9i/wish/237488489
