Why I Choose to Exist

"Why I choose to Exist"
By: Suppose; (Me)

From clay she built them.
She gave them arms and legs
And heads,
And little clay bodies.
She called them people
In every language that did
And would ever exist.

She sat them together and said
“I love you because
You are me and I am you,
And we are here to love each other.”
Then she kissed each of the
Little Clay People
And said, “live.”

And they did,
And they do.


Note:I love criticism, as long as it is constructive. :D

Very nice, thank you for sharing. I dabble in writing, but have never posted anything to any forum just kept it for me.

Thanks :)

I just recently started writing again. In fact, the inspiration for this piece hit me at about 3 am this morning, while I was laying in bed.

Every-once-in-a-while, I'll feel the need to share something that I write. I feel like it helps me relate to people on another level, if that makes much sense?

Yes, for sure. I hear what you are saying. My mind wanders mostly at night as well, it is really the only time I have to truly THINK.

Nice rendition of creation. I'm wondering how it would come off if you
replaced she with I, and wrote it solely in the first person. Just a though that
occurred; I really liked it.

Thanks a lot Jacklyn :)

That's an interesting thought, thatguy. I might try writing a variation of this like that and see how it turns out.

Thanks.
That's one of the things I like best about poetry. It's a good way to relate to other people's feelings and beliefs. Reminds me of how in a one way or another, we're all connected.
