It's Better by *marzguy:iconmarzguy:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Fixed


It’s better to steal
Than be stolen,

Better to be swell
Than be swollen.

Better to try
Than be trying,

Better to dye
Than lay dying.

Better to hope
Than be hopeless.

Better to cope
Than be copeless.

It’s better to be
Than to not.

And better to age
Than to rot.



It’s Better

Please don’t read a lot into this. (After all, I don't like stealing.)

It's just a simple poem, using simple words, to say some shallow things…

But I like the flow.

Thanks for adding so many of my poems to your favourites.

I think this one is really funny, andas you say it flows. I"ll be taking it away with me, and keeping an eye on you if I can

There's always a better poem just out of reach.

Words create situations

The roots of the future run deep

I really haven't had a chance to go through much of you gallery, but just about everything I did read I found myself faving.

Perhaps over the Christmas vacation I'll get caught up on all the backlog and be able to take my time with the rest of your work.

I wrote a little boat
Into existence
It floated down the stream
At my insistence.

I think that it is a grand poem! I so like the simplicity of each couplet and that they could and do stand on there own. Well done.

Very good, amigo.
And don't worry, I stop stealin' things four years ago (and I am not the typical latino criminal, specially now that I took my beloved moustache off ^^ )

Your candidness is astounding, 400.

But without your moustache, how will you conceal that sarcastic smirk of yours?

In truth, I believe this kind of stuff does me.
