My First Attempt at POETRY...
OK...OK...OK......I am no Shakespeare, nor am I Ahmed Shawqi...but hey I always loved to read poetry but never had the courage of actually writing one....but this semester I decided to take a poetry course as an elective......I begged all my friends to join me (ya, I wanted support) but they seemed far away from interested in this class....and so far things are going fine.... the teacher is a nice crazy old lady, probably the American version of Um S3eed, and as my first assignment I was given the task of writing a poem....I wanted to share this one with you guys hopefully you'll like it.....remember to praise it if you like and give me a constructive criticism if you don't;)
A Journey Called Life
As I sit collecting my thoughts about everything
It seems that life has walked for miles
But moved only a few steps forward
No idea about how much more will I walk
But there is always a day after night
And remaining hope insight
But unlike others I won’t run away
I had my share of happiness, and
For sorrows I’m going to stay
Just when you thought that the battle had been won
You discover that the war has just begun
Keep on fighting is what we all ought to do
Until glory comes along and rewards you

I loved this part :
"Just when you thought that the battle had been won
You discover that the war has just begun"
I've walked in that shoe all my life.
Well written with a deep subject.
Good luck with your poetry course! I think you have it just keep scouring it.
good luck with the poetry thing...sorry I am not a poetry person..it just goes above my head :P
amazing wallah!
for me, I loved the second section of your poetry :)
goodluck sister ;)
Sugar ;)
Mashalla, such a beautifully written poem... Very expressive..! (again, Mashalla...)
I loved it all , cannot wait to read more!
Keep it up =D
*knock knock*
For a starters it's quiet good. Don't ever think that ur poetry is going to be liked by others or not, just write poetry to fill urself with pleasure and to flow out a flood of thoughts. If u don't have a flood of thoughts, u should wait for one. But whatever comes after the flood, it will be true poetry. I don't know if u understand this or not, but this is what I felt when I used to write poetry.
and now i'm hoping this teacher of yours REWARDS you with an A ;)
Amazingly written...
I loved when you said "and for sorrows I'm going to stay"
