When I Was Young by scarphase(m): 6:21pm On Jan 01, 2020 |
I wonder where the years went The years of Innocence with little worries The days have gone Moments have flashed past I have grown older I look back at yesterday Oh how I thought I could shape the "tomorrow" then I used to think I could achieve anything I put my mind to Life seemed so easy like it was in cartoons Dreams were conceived Plans hatched Most of which have become wishful thinking as I have come to realise I remember with nostalgia The times I was younger When life wasn't so hard or so I thought Now here wondering why I grew up What really is the incentive for growing Responsibilities, bills and societal expectations These now take away the joy of "adulting" Oh if I could turn back the hands of time I wish I was younger When my troubles were fewer And friends truer 3 Likes |

scarphase: Thumbs up poet. Please do not forget the importance of structuring. Your poem should be in stanzas except you wanted to write a villanelle or sort. Either you arranged them in quatrains, octaves, sestet, quintets... And please don't forget your punctuations, It'll help readers to know if there is enjambment or not. Thanks. |
