Life Is Poem by Scott Austin

Life Is

Rating: 5.0


I can tell you
That life is
No smooth highway

It can have
Those twists
And turns

It can give
You some lumps
And some bumps

It has so
Many dangers
And detours

Which can be
Made up of construction
And some self destruction

There are no
Short cuts
In life

So why make it harder
Than it has to be
This needs to be clear

Life is
No smooth Highway
So accept some help
That can make it easier

That's to my liking. Read my poem 'five', it's the same story.

Life is really define as you put it in your poetry. There's a lot of twist and turns that one may never know what will one lead to. Another good poem, indeed.

You have a point. Self destruction is a shortcut and it seems so easy, but this poem doesn't suggest to do that. It suggests to ask for help which is good. keep up the good work. :)
