Your Value Besides What You Have [String Senryu]

by Khalid M Darwish   Feb 1, 2013


Don't measure yourself -
by what you achieved but by
what you still have to

if you have palaces -
built in space don't destroy them
but provide bases

When you want to get -
what's impossible, you get
the best possible

    ^^This to me was the immediate selling point. You can usually tell if you'll want to finish reading, even the shortest poems, if the first stanza is good. This is great. It's such a strong piece, inspirational. It speaks about what is possible, and what us as human being needs to accept in certain situations.

    Very well written.
