If you could send 1 message you’ve learned to every person in the world, what would it be? 9 months, 2 weeks agowhat we don't know
Andrew Stonean ant would crawl on my desk
tempted by fate to seek food
and with a few crumbs in view
it scurries on with finessethe ant would wonder and ponder
what to do and how to go about
bringing home this tasty treat
to share with those withoutthere are many ways to take
and several paths to avoid
such as the old spider’s lair
lurking around the cornerdespite the ant’s careful planning
it remained unaware of my presence
and with a swift pressure of my thumb
it was relieved of it’s existencethe ant was sad for it tried it’s best
yet no amount of planning would help
for there are always higher forces
who are on a much different questVoting is closed

Andrew, we often have a one-track mind when it comes to our tasks and day-to-day lives, but there are always going to be others who will squish us to meet their own needs. Unfortunately, this is a part of life. No matter how well we plan, there are always going to be unforeseen circumstances. I love how honest you are! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for reading! I’m glad you picked up on my intentions, I enjoy writing abstractly but sometimes think I become too abstract in the end.

This is such a unique, thoughtful, and creative piece. It’s so true that there are so many different forces at play in life.

I find it fascinating, thinking that you know what’s best but then life shows you something else.

Aw, this poem is super cute! It’s short and sweet but left me feeling warm and your piece is a nice reminder that peace is everywhere. I love how your story starts immediately with the action of a bird flying because it’s easy to imagine and had me quickly curious as to where you’d go with it. Thank you for sharing!
-
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the poem.
Peace can be so hard to find, we have to remind ourselves that we create peace within ourselves, we just have to relax and enjoy the moment.

Write a letter or poem to your younger self about why he or she shouldn’t worry about the future 1 years agoa better tomorrow, yesterday
Andrewi wish i could tell you
the things you need to do
i wish i could show you
how to dance like we wouldbut you already know that
so there’s not much to say
just relax, be a diplomat
and maybe you will somedayVoting is closed

Life is so mysterious sometimes. I wonder what you meant when you said “be a diplomat.” There really is no rulebook, but we all seem to make it out okay in the end. Thank you for sharing.
-
I wanted to use “be diplomatic” but it didn’t fit the rhyming pattern, so I changed it to “be a diplomat”. To me it means being mindful of how you treat people and events going on around you.
Thank you for your comment! Life is mysterious and like you said, it somehow seems to workout in the end.

This piece is short and sweet. It thoughtful and clever. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

Thank you! I had fun writing this poem, it felt right to keep it short because the first thing that popped into mind after reading the prompt was “just be yourself” and there’s not much else I had to add to that. I tried my best to capture the thought into words.
