Talking to myself through poetry
Home » Theme » Cycle Of Inspiration » Life; the doorway
You only
Get one chance through the
Door called life
Ignore the
Texture of the frames
And doorknobs
Ignore size
And wall space, focus
On purpose.
Ignore all
Accessories of
The thresholds.
Door to door
Distractions will come
It is true
Always know;
One thing is certain;
The door slams.
Do not stand
Nor spy; keep moving
Via the door
With goals; reach
Through and through to
Enrich you
Not door frames
And doorcases, they are
All add-ons.
Down the streets, I see fierce men in blacks Throwing punches and spraying bullets back On both the dead guilty and the innocent From such…
Are we now familiar strangers? Our silence seem to write love letters On empty space through the louvers; I miss you, let’s talk it over……
Thank you God, as I clock thirty three years old today… Dear readers and fellow bloggers, join me celebrate my new age, put me in…
We are celebrating sixty, Yet there are no basic amenities, Nigeria!! In her house is where I grew up, Everyday she worsens, I am fed…
Insightful.

Reach through for
Soul enrich(ment) I can’t tell but it’s not structurally sound

Yeah, I was forcing 3 /5/3syllable

Through and through, – means throughout an entire extent.
Using just soul enrich might not should well. I will edit soon

No problem with the through and through….just put it to show that the soul enrich wasn’t just sitting well

Let’s work on Stanza 6, the ‘one thing is for sure’ it should be ‘one thing is sure’ if you need two beats use “certain” instead of “sure” but I think “one thing is sure” is pretty cool
