Slippery Foe, A short original poem

in #poetry7 years ago


Life is quite
the slippery foe,
hard to grasp
and quick to go...


Initially meant to use this in a longer poem, but the message is quite strong in these 4 lines, no need to dillute it by building more lines around it. Basically "memento mori" with a twist - life might be real hard to understand and work with but always remember that it's not eternal..

Thanks for stopping by, please upvote, resteem and follow, see you in the next one ! :) @lorddominik007

I actually enjoyed this so much. Sometimes, less is more, and this is definitely one of those cases.
