A wonderful post and entry for the writing prompt. My favorite line is:Only to bet your soul against the human unknown, (truly powerful and well said). The only problem I see is this seems to be a 'life lived', not a 'life almost lived', but regardless it's a great poem.

Hi Deepwater,
Sounds like you've had an interesting life. It is nice to look back as we get older and to be content with your life. You've expressed that well in this poem.
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers,
Norma :)

WOW!!!
If ever a poem caught my attention for its intelligence than I have found it.
Great imagery and metaphor. Love the tone and the bravado in every line.
This is the carpe diem poem.
A must read that needs to sink through some heads.
Makes sense.

The art work is great for these words.

Within our journey on earth, we have the choice to go the

right road or the wrong road.If we choose the wrong way

within our lives, we have to face up to the consequences.

These are very powerful words about choice.

This is so true, we should be true to ourselves and live our life the way that we choose to. Only then will we be truly happy and able to luck back with no regrets.
