A Time To Live
One poetry line reflecting on the absurdity of life6 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This makes me think of something I learned as a dowser and something many where I worked at a psych/substance abuse hospital were requesting. They wanted me to comb the negativity out of their aura, be it physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual. They went back to work feeling lighter in many ways. You are essentially doing that her in this poem.

Good entry to the contest, but when is life not absurd or a pain? It's a good time to live whenever we live, our one shot in my opinion, therefore like it or not we have to take it as best we can. Good luck.

Not a problem.
Comment from Fleedleflump
I sometimes wonder if we seek out pain unconsciously - if perhaps we need something to strive against, or challenges to feel we've survived. I fully believe there's no point to life, and I'm fine with that - we just take things as they come.
Thank you for the thought-provoking post :-)

Comment from Gloria ....
Hi Mario. Congratulations of your first milestone post, and welcome to FanStory. I think you will enjoy your stay here.
This one line poem seems to be wryly humorous to me particularly if one has been searching for deeper meaning for existence.
Excellent work here, and best of luck to you with the Contest Committee. :)

Comment from pome lover
well, I guess you're not a fan of the old saying, "Life is what you make it?"
If, by your poem, you mean life treated you unfairly, I am sorry. But your poem uses the word, "absurd."
Since one's life is a reflection of the person ... and I'm just going by your words, maybe you can make it better.
Heaven knows I'd like to redo/undo some things in my life, but that's not the way it works, so we try to make the best of what's left of it. And I'm not a goody-two shoes, just practical. Just reacting to your poem.
If you don't like my response, maybe you can tell me what kind of response you expected. I do not mean to be cruel or rude. I'm just curious of your meaning.
