ok ok I know the title is a bit cheesy, oh well I didn't know what else to call it. Anyways this poem is the first I've written of it's kind so excuse me if it sucks. Oh and before I forgot, spice I don't post so often cuase then people will get tired of my lame posts   lol. So yeah I try to hold myself and I post as least as possible increasing the tension, (kinda smart huh?) lol. Anyways yeah I also decided to reply in this post because it was more probable you'd see it. Anyways enjoy...

A road worth living:

A glimpse of an image
An image still unknown
The unknown is what we wonder
We wonder what we lust
We lust, a craving,
A craving all too old
Too old is the quest we're on
We're on the road to happiness
Happiness we all need to continue
To continue existing and living
Living our lives how we must.



PS ok so the entire thing is kinda cheesy lol, I got you to read it!

This is pretty good. I like how you played off of each word from the previous line. Nice work

Why would you call this cheesy? It could actually ring true to quite a few peoples lives.  

It is right that we do need to continue on the quest for happiness. It's the last line of defence. Thanks for the read and keep writing.

Fishing for compliments I see, Good boy!   HaHa
I'm with Keoni on this one...LOVEd how you played off each word from one line to another, and considering this was your first attempt on a piece/style like this- It was done damn well.
Something that MIGHT need fixed:
"A craving all to old   <--- to old =too old.
To old is the quest we're on " <--- To old= Too old.
Or perhaps I'm reading it completely wrong and you are like HEADING towards or on a journey to BEING old... And not actually being TOO old, or More old...whatever. Who knows. But it changes the meaning most definetly so clear me up on that.

But anyway, Like I said- Kick arse poem. *Tension rises* Oh! That means I need another one very soon! haha Perhaps you'll be so kind as to ease the tension and do that for me? hehe.
Thanks for the read, much enjoyed! Keep experimenting with new styles as well, it's always interesting to me.

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
