Hi I really Like this poem because it tells the reader to not expect to get what you want
I have not completed this but I hope you enjoy it
Life is like a rollercoaster of emotions
It’s had Lego bricks in it
And bruises
And skin torn up
And blood on the floor
But all the time
I’ve been beaten up
And breaking bones
And had scrapes on my skin
And sometimes see people fall into a trap
Where it ain’t been NO funny trap
So boy don’t be a bullie
Thank you Kaden. Yes I agree although the message is also to stay strong and keep going.

Life is not crystal clear or as smooth as you think
There is not happy times
When you think happy times happen they won’t
You can’t climb happiness but you can climb sadness
Life is a flower it will grow and soon it will die
Were ever you go there will No light
Life is a tv it will break down
Life is not a fluffy cloud it’s as hard as a rock
Hope you enjoy!
This is an interesting line: “You can’t climb happiness but you can climb sadness”. What did you mean by that Rozerin?
Life is a skateboard
It’s had rocks in it
And cuts
And skateboards torn up
And places with vomit on the floor
But all the time
I’ve most been falling down
And reaching breaking bones
And that’s my poem of mother
To son I haven’t completely
Finished it yet but I hope you like it
Thank you Waleed. It’s a promising beginning. I look forward to seeing how you develop your poem further.
I really love this it’s is very emotional !
This inspires me to never give up and to keep on going thank you for sharing it 🙂
Life is not to be messed with
you only have one
when it loading its not that fun
It isn’t a game with one level to go through
people don’t finish the task given
but that isn’t what to do
life isn’t a ginormous gold coin
It isn’t a dream with sugar on top
you think it’s the same game every day but it’s NOT!
This poem is so good i love it!
This poem is really amazing! I liked it when its says Mother to Son
This was really touching and beautiful and I have learned a lot about this and this was really explaining how life is sometimes
its so amsding
This poem is absolutely beautiful and it helps you appreciate what you have before you. It shows you how hard it is for other people , which teaches you a lesson to not take what you have for granted.
Thank you Shelly for sharing your thoughts on the poem.
I Really love this poem because its so true and the women that maid it spoke from
heart
Thank you Michael. Yes what do you think makes it seem like it’s from the heart?
I liked how the pictures showed her and her son always sticking together
life is like a bag of chocolates you
never know what your
going to get
life is like a box of chocolate because you never know what your going to get
life is like a roller coaster because you get your ups and downs
life is like a football match you win some you lose some
life is like a book because there’s different chapters in life
Some interesting similes here Leonardo which you could develop.
I really like this poem because the creator says how life isn’t easy but with linking it with something else
Well dear,Life ain’t been no crystal-clear river.
There has been sharp rocks and waterfalls,
But sometimes i turn before i fall down the waterfall
And when the river ends,
Lets all agree,
It was a good ride in the long run.
Thank you Cherlae. I think a river metaphor could work well. Perhaps you could talk about the different pace of the water.
well this isn’t ‘Mother to Son’ but it is a poem that i made myself.
Here We Are
I love the funfair
Do you?
I enjoy it
Don’t avoid it
Sometimes I vomit
But I won’t blow it
The Ferris wheel spins around
Like a Merry Go round
Go on the twister
Glare at it
But keep your hair on!
If you are waiting in line to the bathroom
Then go to the laugh room
On a roller coaster you scream
But don’t make a scene!
I know its trash right??!!
Thank you Alex. It’s encouraging to see you creating poems on your own themes.
