Write it like your life depends on it!
A poetry challenge
First, I would like to thank CDTPPW for tagging me in this fun challenge! This is my first poetry challenge so I was excited to begin! Oh please do check out his awesome takes on the challenge as well here!
This is a poetry challenge chain (kindly refer to the post here!) started by Sheri Jacobs which was based on a poem written by William Carlos Williams:
so much depends
upona red wheel
barrowglazed with rain
waterbeside the white
chickens
I admit I was struggling quite a bit at the beginning but I think I kind of got the hang of it eventually (I hope)
So here are my 4 takes, let’s go!
so much depends
upon
pages of
portfolio
and well
kept KPI
each day
just to get by
so much depends
upon
a mask of smile
daily
to blend in
with the mass
to avoid
outsider’s distress
so much depends
upon
that little voice in
your head
to stand and
give it your all
to fall and
get back up again
so much depends
upon
the courage to
confess
to turn love
into an opportunity
or let it remain
forever a regret
Truth be told, I did not intend for my takes on the challenge to be so…dark or packed with negative elements (sorry guys lol). I guess my mind is stuck on “things / values / practices that are essential in life” and somehow the ideas were linked to lessons I learnt or observed in general haha
Tagging Mustapha El Hajj, Benighted, Anna Krasko, Nadja Sturm, John Haslam, Warren "Storyteller" Brown, Ann Christine Tabaka as well as anyone else who is interested in joining the fun!
