Luscious life luring

Oh to leap or not to leap

Let’s give it a try

Either we get it or dream

Both delightfully toothsome

  4. Lovely! I enjoy the illustration, especially the irony of its similarity to the Aesop's fable of Sour Grapes. Your poem expresses exactly the opposite. I like the word "toothsome"---too rarely used.

  18. Real dilemma sometimes or at each fork of the road? ~ Love that you use the idea and pic of famous fable. x

  19. Your poem here makes me turn into a person who is excited for what lies ahead of him. That whatever it is in store for me will either be something to dream about or to receive appreciatively.

  20. I guess all leaps begin with a dream. So we must dream, leap and live. Great write Sumana.

  21. How to convince yourself like the fox that the grapes out of reach are unripe and sour! Surely you must leap in the attempt at your dream.

  22. A gist of one of my childhood stories. Beautifully penned Sumana!

  23. I want to leap! Whether the outcome is success or failure, I never want to stop trying, experimenting, and growing. Great poem, Sumana.

  28. "Oh to leap or not to leap" - My favourite line. (Maybe because I've been reading a lot of Shakespeare lately.)

  29. Ah, what a lovely read !! Love the last line...

    ReplyDelete
  30. i would hate not to leap and miss out...
    rather to leap and miss...

    intriguing riddle to your words...

    ReplyDelete
  31. yes, i agree! i once read in an article that the brain does not know the difference between daydreaming an experience and actually living it...to the brain, a real experience exists in both!
