Take a loss as a lesson learned
[ ] Never take a loss in your life, but a lesson learned.
[ ] Respect, like money is usually not given, but earned.
[ ] Don't always stand on what you believe, but what you know hard & firm.
[ ] To believe is not facts, but opinions that can be gaslighted, twisted, & turned.

Observe
On the old oak tree
Sits a mother with her child
Giving her some lessons
carried from generations!
Her voice so hoarse and quiet
like the black night sky,
"Listen well dear!"
The mother sighed
"Silence is the wisest thing,
Its with you when no one else is,

to all those fools, who roam around!
Keep quiet, and you'll see,
the light in miracles!

Lessons
Learning won't stop
After uni, college or school
You may reach the top

You'll be wise
We're all learning
Lessons
Just not in a class
We find out
The best things
From our days
As they pass

instead of mining inspiration
from deep within.
Seeking satisfaction
outside ourselves
is perhaps the greatest sin.
It is a game no one wins.
So, back to the blank page I go.
Just me and my pen.

When I was 7 years old, I went with my mother to visit her friend. I heard a dog bark when we knocked on the door. I love doggies! "Where's your doggie?" I asked. "I put him out back. He's an old police dog and isn't used to kids."
"Stay away from him," my mother warned.
Despite her warning, I went in search of the doggie and found him chained to a stake in the ground, head down, dark eyes...

There you are with your BA (Hons) in English Literature,
5 years of studying poetry and prose.
Yes, you’re a real academic, all those years
in lectures and seminars. Got you a decent career
and a real nice income. Not like me
who did it the other way. Taught myself
to write, been published many times.
See what you think of my poems and my book.
Your critis...
