Aphorisms by Drock

A category for aphorisms doesn't exist....

 

The hypocrite who seeks vengeance for the sake of gratification, with no regard for the lives crushed, who seeks that which is not wanted - is a very lost soul.

 

One who sees people as having to be infallible; every action as a sharpened sword, is one that will wither, become cold, bitter and incapable of letting in love.

 

To have the willingness and ability to look upon, and judge ourselves as harshly as we do others, is in itself, invaluable, empowering and enlightening.

 

When flying by the seat of your pants, it's a good idea to wear suspenders.

 

I think I'll adhere spikes and studs to my butt so that everywhere I go, I'll leave an impression.

When we give birth to writing, we're too close to it emotionally; we can't see the forest for the trees.

The job you have or the amount of money you make does not define who you are. It's what's in your heart and who you are inside that does.

Author's Note

Just a few thoughts that came to mind and I jotted down. I was given the idea by a friend, that I might like to write aphorisms. So, I gave it a shot. :)

Fly by the seat of your pants - suspenders - awesome. Spikes - impression. Nice. Love it. Now continue. More please.

Perfection is a goal... not a possibility.

I love aphorisms! I'm so glad you wrote some!!! They're the first I've read here. They were very big in the 18th century and come from a grand poetic tradition. Well done.

Thank you, Coyote, though this isn't a poem. These are aphorisms. Unfortunately, they don't have a category in the drop-down for them.

I like the statements in the poems. First set of lines were my favorite. I like this poem. You create a poem to awake the mind. A outstanding poem.
