    Poem Commentary

    This is basically about riding a rollercoaster...but life as well...

    Last Ride

    Time slowly ticking,

    life slowly clicking...

    so many thoughts passing,

    things never lasting...

    Why am I here,

    feeling so alone...

    stuck in dreams,

    feeling things unknown...

    I climb this hill,

    what's on the other side,

    what will I find...

    what will I feel...

    With each new click,

    with each new sound...

    wheels climbing...

    high above the ground...

    I feel the weight,

    of an empty heart...

    frozen in time,

    lost in my mind...

    My fear is real,

    as I reach the top...

    the top of the hill,

    Now I know...

    what I forgot...

    The pull and tug,

    of climbing that hill...

    there's so much thrill,

    there's so much love...

    when what pulls you,

    is a tug of love...

    Climbing that hill,

    when reaching the top,

    forgetting what's real..

    life is a roller coaster...

    in all I feel...

    Life goes one way,

    when I choose another...

    Up down, left or right...

    spinning so fast,

    making me dizzy...

    jerking me around,

    day and night...

    make it last...

    the thrill of my life...

    Not lost in dreams,

    not stuck in pains...

    climbing hills can be hard,

    But the thrill...

    waiting on the other side,

    the ride waiting at the top,

    I hang on to my seat....

    the thrills I feel,

    pain can't defeat...

    what I feel...

    I climb that hill,

    enjoy the thrill....

    of a life's roller coaster...

    and the joy of a life,

    a ride thats real...

    I like how you relate life to a roller coaster, how you make the poem flow like a roller coaster. It has it jerks and quirks, but enjoy the ride.

    Life really is a rollercoaster ride, so many ups, downs, twist, and turns...You have to deal with the slow climb up the hill to realize the thrill, all the excitement waiting on the other side... We all have our mountains and our valleys, but neither last forever. We all have to go thru valleys and low spots in our life at times, if we didn't, we wouldn't realize how great it is when we stand at a the mountains top, the good times in our lives...

    The rollercoaster thing, I am very scared of heights and fast things! lol!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
