Literally I blunder blindly down this road they call life, Literally… I stumble and fall over hurtles I never saw, Literally… I fear what I cannot see, Literally… I hide from what I cannot comprehend, Literally… I take one step at a time, Literally… Until I reach the very end, Literally. Let me know what you think. Give me your honest opinions. Explain what you think the meaning is. |

This is a good and powerful write ... the repeted "literally" gives a strong rhythm. And taking one step at a time is a good thing too! You say much in a few sentences. Love, Margherita  |

There are no hidden meanings-- no allegorical, mystical interpretations to this poem. And that is what makes it work. The daily [drudgery at times] of literal living, or virtual [actual] living brings true fulfilment: one step and one day at a time... anyway that's what "me thinks!" Grover. |

Literally, I think this portrays a not so happy event filled life. It leaves me sad. So if that was the intention... A+! Literally has a sarcastic connotation, generally speaking, and when I read your poem aloud, this "tone" adds to the sad, almost mocking, feel of the words. McLean |

Well, I think you all have a point. It was not exactly meant to be sad, but I am glad you enjoyed it. I suppose I was feeling somber. Thanks all of you! |
