life is like a lemon...
its yellow,
its sour,
its...
wait...
okay...
life is like a peach,
its soft,
its sweet,
its...
okay, wait,
maybe this time...
life is like an onion,
its got lots of layers,
and makes you cry,
it can...
nope...
okay,
i got it.
life is like a poem,
its always sad to finish
but always a pleasure to begin.
always a method to its madness,
sometime you have to wait it out
before it sinks in.
its got its ups and downs,
its over and outs,
and every now and then,
a turnabout.
just enjoy the read
and leave your mark,
after all,
life's like a poem,
some light,
and some dark.

Loved it, the stopping to figure out the metaphor makes it sound so cute.

This is great, I love it. The beginning is innocent and smooth flowing through it, then it gets deeper towards the end and everything falls into place. Life is just like a poem, so keep living your life and writing beautiful poetry. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!

This poem was a nice surprize! I could see you sitting in a class somewhere talking to little children about life! We all see life different at different times depending on what we are going through at that point in our lives.
This was one of the best poems I've read on "shameless"

I also enjoyed the peculiar but adorable style you chose to convey this.This may read light but there are some deep things in there too for good mesure

Very cute! I loved the conversational tone...it was like you were reciting on stage...it made me smile. Very satisfying and well-rounded, with some wonderful nuggets of humor.
