Don't Be A Coward
Sometimes life will slam you.
One day it will pass
Don't be a coward
Don't hide in a corner
and sit on your ass.
It's not how hard you can hit
It's how hard you can get hit
When life tries to slam you
Don't take any shit.
Stand up be a man
Show life you can slam back
You know that you can.
Don't be a coward
Listen to me
Show life who you are
and then you'll be free
Review Request (Intensity):
I appreciate moderate constructive criticism
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
Last few words:
This came to me while watching a movie. I have had many poems
many times come to me at the darndest times.

Favorite Poets
I have always loved poetry but sad to say I haven't really gotten into, individual poets. I truly believe that it is never to late to learn and appreciate others. That is one of the reasons I am here today.

moderate.........like the UN
politically my fam was up there
we were taught not to go thug route
and not to climb too high
I was in the middle of much at times
an empty instrument in my hands
had I picked up the tools of such
craft I would not prolli be writing
but too busy running something
a part of something....
instead Like the UN now coming
undone in my country....I am free
full of ghosts of such excursion!!
my teams were talented..
got them in and out..
they had my back
but still..
it was something!!
excellent poem!!
thank U chefdon
