A Selection of Couplets

FredPeyer

The purpose of his life was never fully clear

Nevertheless he kept on living year after year

 

It takes a million teardrops to fill a pail

But only one to tell the tale

 

Your constant nagging will reduce me to tears

Like water wears down the rock over the years

 

She was standing strong and proud

But all alone within that crowd

 

Nobody knows when it’s time to go

But go we must, that’s all we know

 

While the many are controlled by the few

One alone could topple the few, if only he knew

 

I always thought I knew it all

But that was before my fall

 

My life with you is like a beautiful long dance

Am forever grateful you decided to take a chance

 

Veni vidi vici – life can be so much fun

Even at seventy I am far from done

    I like these. Thoughful but light entertainment as a group like this.

  • FredPeyer

    Thanks da! I keep on writing them down as they pop into my head and thought why not post them. And you are right, they are 'light entertainment'! Should have put that into my comment. They are not top quality, but fun to write and maybe read.

  • Mottakeenur Rehman

    Beautiful piece!

    • FredPeyer

      Thank you MR, I like to write couplets, some are good, some are ok, and some are soso.

    • Michael Edwards

      Great work Fred and I do have a favourite - it's No2.

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks Michael, great minds think alike. #2 is my favorite too, with #7 close behind.

      • Goldfinch60

        Very good couplets Fred.

        • FredPeyer

          Thanks so much Goldie! I do appreciate your comment.

        • orchidee

          Oohh they are top quality Fred. I'm swooning in amazement at the wisdom of them (really I am! lol).

          • FredPeyer

            Thanks orchie! I don't think your swooning comes from the 'wisdom' of these couplets, I think your sherry has something to do with it. 🙂
