Friman Mori — "little curvy line" my first poem in English

PreviousNext

I thought about the word to define life

And I could really think only about time

But really its just little curvy line

That we call life

It has turns some better some worse

But noone really said life is easy of course

But it only has turns and no crossroads

Life is following the line not going through doors

Life is a line no crossroads no doors

And no full stops

And every time you make a choice

You will be hearing only one of your voice

And therefore billion lines

Of other peoples billion lives

Roads full of spikes and knives

Drugs and crimes, war counts

But your legs strong, You stand up and go

And you head straight without any thought

Its anyway your own life though 

Or may I say, little curvy line that we call so

But if cats live nine lives

Which means they walk 9 lines

And therefore wiser than us

I will let this one past

But is there a dark or a light there

Does this line even lead somewhere

Flip back the table and stop looking under

It's not a normal walk it's living in thunder 

And you find yourself in strange world

Where people walk on lines getting bald

And every mistake they do the line bends

And where the line stops the life ends

But really what's the meaning 

Of whole human being?

Is it living in a big hive?

But really, it just curvy little line

That we call life

I really like this poem! It has a nice flow and the rhymes are smooth. I also like how the poem, just like life, has no full stops. There are a few minor grammar mistakes but I feel it gives the poem more authenticity. A few mistakes are expected when someone is learning another language. Keep up the great work!

Alrighty, I am here for your poem’s been in the Green Room long enough! Let’s lift it out!

I like the metaphor abt the line, definitely. It has the same vibe as describing life as a river, searching its own way.

I like that you have a line that says no fullstops and the poem indeed has none. 😊Also I like that you mention the lack of doors since in the end, you can only make one decision and you can only look back along your curving line of life and while you can imagine what other paths/doors you could have taken, all you rly have is that one life with that one decision that you did make.

I rly like this part

Of other peoples billion lives
Roads full of spikes and knives
Drugs and crimes, war counts


Ohh and the line abt Cat’s having nine ...lines =D

This is also v interesting to consider: “Flip back the table and stop looking under”
And that mistakes, whatever that really means, bend the line. And the line stopping upon death.. OH I like all this!

Grammar-wise there are a few commas missing here but I’m actually wondering if that’s intentional to not make the reader stop in the middle of a line? I’m not well-versed in poems and cant quite tell…
