Position:Home>Poetry> Care to give me direction on this poem?Question:The couple took a road trip They were not payng attention As they enjoyed the sights They went once in the wrong direction Trying to find their way back Without asking, they payed the price Not only did they get lost once They also went the wrong way twice Eventually they found their way back They indeed had to pay the cost For two wrongs do not make a right But they will surely leave you lost Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The couple took a road trip They were not payng attention As they enjoyed the sights They went once in the wrong direction Trying to find their way back Without asking, they payed the price Not only did they get lost once They also went the wrong way twice Eventually they found their way back They indeed had to pay the cost For two wrongs do not make a right But they will surely leave you lost In the sea, where all Sirens live Directions are never very useful Unless you're lost like Nemo Very nice, with deeper meanings attached. Typo paid instead of payed. Too bad we do not have GPS for our souls at times. Your directions are very clear (at least to me). South, definitely, this one has gone south...TD Nice poem Reminded me of an old one of mine (non-rhyming) Heading North The Sudden Thought gazed around, into unfamiliar territory, and knew It was lost. But having consulted another Idea the Suggestion argued that Logic should scamper up a power pole to take a look. Using all Available Information (And it's handy pocket all-purpose guide map) It re-convened the meeting with the rest, but arbitrarily decided to agree with Instinct and to forge ahead regardless. Direction maintained, through Mass Confusion and Doubt, It rallied enough Common Sense to observe the road rules. And having come to another Contentious Intersection (In the middle of no-where), It gave way to through traffic, and to the right, and finally found the on-ramp that It knew would eventually lead north. "I knew I was right" declared the Thought. Sometimes It takes a little longer to get There, but It does in the end. |
