Keep Going

Short and to the point.

Thinkin for so few words,

you got your point across.

Like this lil sassy poem.

Ya might not think it is sassy ... unless

One was * lookin * back to begin with. * Grins *

I also see changes ... evolution in your writes ~!

Rock on Jenn. ~!!

Your walking backwards!!

just chiming in, this is my favorite of your poems here. All hail simplicity. the last line is one that will stay with me.

I was going to suggest you consider shortening the last phrase from the second line (hell if it hasn't left my brain) but when I read it, the sound of it, it needed to be there.

Is this more of a senryu? Doesn't have to "be" anything, just thought it might fit the bill.

Look the way you are going;

looking back's the way to decay

but I cannot compete with this short poem. What a lot of meaning in such a concise work. I agree - brilliant!

Brilliant as usual. Such few words, and yet so thought-provoking. Pity that 5 marks is the maximum permitted - I would have given more.

forward after falling back and slid a bit side ways but I am back on the down escalator going up. <grin> inspirational

This isn't actually a Haiku (although I might try one of those now you've mentioned it!) just a short piece that I thought had a poetic ring to it ~

Thanks

sometimes the shorter poems (Haiku) have the longest of interpretations! I really like this thought provoking piece.

Why do we find it so easy to look back and so impossible to look forward when that is indeed the way we are going?

Thank you JC, I got alot out of this piece.
