advice for your last day

i am not going to lie, not my best. but eh...i wrote it so might aswell upload it.

To live life like this day is your last

Doesn’t mean you have to live life fast.

 

To live life like this day is your last

Doesn’t mean you mimic the mistakes from the past.

 

To live life like this day is your last

Doesn’t mean you have to live life in a pint glass

 

To live life like this day is your last

Is to enjoy it slowly as that moment will pass.

Poetry doesn't always have to be profound or cerebral. I think you used an important idea in a playful way.

[nigrum homonculus]

i agree, thank you for that lisa.

[Dr. Wood ?]

i suppose if you follow the directions of the third stanza your days of living will be considerably shorter...Good poem this, I am drinking wine as I type this...what are my chances?

[nigrum homonculus]

i can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not because of the computer. but thanks for the review. glad you think its good.

[Dr. Wood ?]

no not sarcasm my friend, just a little flippancy

[nigrum homonculus]

[Dr. Wood ?]

[Baby Ricochet]

I like it. "live everyday as if it were your last." is fatalistic to me but I've a BIG fatalist streak in me. Good poem

[nigrum homonculus]

fatalist? what do you mean?

[Baby Ricochet]

Fatalism probably the wrong word. More like fuckitism. Is that a word? Well I'm a goddamn poet and I say it is.

[nigrum homonculus]

haha! i don't see why not. use that in one of your poems

[Marie]

I'm a bad poet, or I would comment.

[nigrum homonculus]

heeeh?

[Marie]

If I were a good poet I would renounce the word "fuckitism". But I'm not, so I don't.

[nigrum homonculus]

haha oh

[Miguel]

Still a really nice poem regardless.

Simple, short, and has a good message.
Great as usual :)
