THE JOURNEY

......... THE JOURNEY......



Here comes the greatest fear
The fear of what it has in store
The fear of taking the wrong path
But I chose to keep moving forward
To get to the destination
With a lot of determination

The roads are sometimes straight 
Sometimes they are windling
There are up and downs
And potholes along the way

I have to climb the mountains
But most mountains paths
Are not directly uphill
But take us down the valley to get to the next peak

Even though I am exhausted 
Even though I feel like giving up
But I must keep moving 
Because it is called a race
And I chose to win

Modern Japanese haiku are also said to increasingly vary from the tradition of 17  on  or taking nature as their subject. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed as a single line while haiku in English often appear as three lines. There are several other forms of  Japanese poetry  relat...

BROKEN A paradigm of love at first sight you appeared to be A paradise on earth at last indeed are we Deeper and stronger we grew Emotionally you tighten the screw In the deepest part  of my heart you  sparkled In a flame when I was countering you  from bed I was auspicious I thought I will earn a prize from you  at the swaged  through the tunnel  eyes unseen instead  I paid a prize to you as you swagged  Cos your love was spurious Loss or profit our love was bound to face Aquarius My heart in naive you clutched My mind in its higher IQ cleared  I love you with soul in my might yet you played me otherwise as your right In all, I succumbed as forfeiture Hoping it's worth in future Boarded a life in the street So as to keep your ecstasy complete Yet you heed not to my heart as courtesy You wrote to me a lamentation of a prophecy  I didn't get this right as an attention Then you sang me a heartbroken song as a redemption  You sold to m...

The third and fourth lines rhyme together, are shorter, and follow two metrical feet.  However, sometimes it may vary, and amphibrachic (unstressed/stressed/unstressed) form can replace anapestic. In fact, it is a bawdy, humorous, or nonsensical verse written in the form of five anapests, with an  aabba   rhyme scheme .
