I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE ~ Title Progression Poem

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE !

LIFE  is such an awesome Gift

To be Human and alive

Each new day ~ gives me a lift !

 

I enjoy each day ~ of the Life I live

I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE !

I enjoy the Take and I enjoy the Give

I enjoy being THIRTY FIVE !

 

Each morning off to work I drive

Teaching Applied Science to My Teens   

I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE

Seeking to teach them what LIFE means !

 

I hope to marry one day soon

And start a family (maybe five ? !)

I wasn't born with a Silver Spoon

I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOX

 

This as a Title Progression Poem written in four

quatrains with an abab etc Rhyme Pattern. The

Title "I PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE" is also line ONE

in verse ONE. It progresses as Line TWO ~ Line

THREE and finally as Line FOUR in verse FOUR !

Title Progression Poems are excellent to recite

because you emphasise the Title Line (verbally)

as it progresses through the Poem !  Repetition

is good for the Poetic Soul ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN

    Applied Science to teens! I hope you survive too! Brave.....

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks for your commiseration ! All My Students are VOCATIONAL and Applied Science is FUN ! They are Caterers ~ Lab Technicians ~ Pre-Nursing ~ Hair & Beauty ~ Engineers ~ Construction and I have convinced them all that a knowledge of Applied Science will make the better Chefs ~ Nurses ~ Beauticians etc. They are 17 ~ 25 so they are sensible and enjoy their CHOSEN Courses ~ "A little BIT of SCIENCE helps the Mystery go down ~ in a most insightful way" Scientific Hugs BRIAN @@@

          GRAZIE CARA MIA PER TUA BELLO COMMENTO ! For many BOYS surviving the first FIVE years is the most difficult ~ which explains why we are outnumbered 51% to 49% by Ladies ! To have survived 35 ANNI ~ E ANCORA ESSERE ELEGANTE ~ MI DOVE ESSERE SULLA DESTRA VIA ! Per Tu Abbraccii e Baci forte ~ Il tua Amicci BRIAN XOXOX

          I though you was writing it for me - how to survive Valentines Day now I'm married to KP! lol. A fine write Brian.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks STEVE (Nombre corecto !) ! KP is a big price to pay. A friend of mine (aged 85) married a Lady of 25 ! I advised him to wear an OXYGEN MASK in bed at night and he did ! It dampened her ardour and he is still alive @ 90 ! Pleased you liked the Poem & the Form. It is also known as " A Title Chase Poem !" Your Nephew BRIAN !

            Survival is always good, I am 70 this year and have managed to survive.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Gosh UNCLE ANDY ~ You are Twice as old as ME ~ it encourages me to believe I will at least make retirement ! Every Blessing ~ Your MPS Nephew BRIAN

            • Fay Slimm.

              Love the flow of this poem and its Title Chase form Brian - along with plenty of genuine gratitude and cheerful willingness you write with vibrancy so yes dear friend - - you will survive. A gem of a read.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                THANKS for a confidence booster FAY ~ I am sure I will survive at least until retirement 2053 (70) and then at least a few more years to reap the rewards of a well lived life ! Yours as always BRIAN. Pleased you liked the structure ~ I love repetition in Poetry ~ but many find Villanelles too complicated !

              • Michael Edwards

                You'll survive - I buy our local paper each week and as soon as I see that I'm not in the obituaries columns I know I'm okay and all's well with the world.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thanks MICHAEL ~ Both my Parents are still alive and well ~ so GENETICALLY I am programmed to live to 60+ ! I am fairly abstemious have never smoked or used drugs. Because I am a VIRGO I am a fairly cautious "I always look before I leap ~ and often ~ having looked ~ don't leap" BUT I did take a HELICOPTER ride down the GRAND CANYON ................. and ? I am not an ONLY Child and my Parents look out for me rather than the other way round ! I have no personal Family (KIDS) and my life is virtually stress free ~ AMEN. I do CARPE DIEM and enjoy surviving form day to day ! Thanks for your comment it almost triggered an ESSAY ~ Yours as ever BRIAN. Many of my PEERS (30 ~ 40 age group) have lots of stress ~ some are on medications ad some are already DEAD ~ c'est la morte ! Yours optimistic as always The Life of BRIAN !
