A Guide To Living
20 syllable poem11 total reviews
Comment from pome lover
living in the moment is what scares me. I cannot see the light at the end of this country's tunnel. Our President is a dishonest idiot, who with the help of Obama, Soros, and the World Economic Forum elites are destroying us.
BUT, Miss Debra, I will just enjoy your lovely poem and thank you for it!
However, our days are definitely not dull. I think I would prefer it if they were. Enough.
I guess I'm the one throwing the negative curve balls. Sorry.
I ave been enjoying the lovely services for Queen Elizabeth - singing along with the Episcopal hymns and chants. And horrified at the ugly comments by some crude Americans on TV.
What to you think Charles will be like as King? And what do you think of Megan.? Is Harry having second thoughts? Don't answer if you'd rather not.
Anyway, I enjoy your light poetry. I need to get back to something light.

Comment from Lulube
Love your concept for this piece. Simple, but has a powerful message. I read this 20 syllable poem several times and I'm not quite sure what was spurring me on to want to share what I came up with. Please don't get mad or anything cause I love your poem.
Live in the moment
savouring each one
Days without color
grow even duller

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Deb,
Nice to see you're still with us! Hope all is well for you and your family, and you're back in the school setting.
I enjoyed your entry for the 20 Syllable Poetry contest, especially the last lines,
"Days lacking colour
grow ever duller." ... I find the most depressing times of the year are late winter/early spring when snowbanks are dirty with splashing mud and gravel. Old Man Winter retreats. Also late autumn, when trees are naked and leaves are rotting in piles on the ground. Windy, cold and rain.
The best time of year for color ... summer and autumn! October is the best month of all!
Nicely penned! Good Luck in the contest!
Nice to see your beautiful smile again!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Comment from Gloria ....
How great to see you! I live in the moment, it's my brain that goes off in different directions. That said, wonderful advice.
I think this is a fantastic poem, and I wish you great luck with the Contest Committee.

Comment from Heather Knight
Hi,
It's nice to see you here. I'd like to be writing more myself.
Your first verse is great advice, but not always easy to follow.
I love this little poem and the great presentation.
I also like the tone, maybe a bit different from your usual one.
Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I so agree with you here and living in the moment is the only way to really enjoy life, we spend far too much time regretting and reliving the past and worrying about the future, much enjoyed Debra, love Dolly x

Comment from lyenochka
That's for the reminder to "live in the moment." Savoring the present time is the best way as worrying about the future or regrets about the past are the ways to make days "grow duller."
Good to see you back, Debra!
Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
As I age, I'm trying harder to do the first thought of your poem and finding that second thought to be so very true. I, therefore, try to "color my world" in some special way each and every day. May not be every moment, but if I can stop and appreciate one part of my day every day, then it's been a good one.
A lovely sentiment, and I love the colors of the image you used. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Pam :)
I totally understand what you're saying as I often find it hard to 'savour' some days! I love the way you're finding a special something each day to appreciate.
Thank you for your kind feedback.

This is a very interesting 20 syllable poem. I liked the idea expressed, and the illustration that suggested that moments are fleeting, leaving us bereft. Good luck in the contest. Kate xx
