Short Poems

Blink of an Eye
Life’s too short, they say with a sigh,
A moment’s gone in the blink of an eye,
Cherish each day, make the most of your time,
Live a life that’s full, and simply sublime.

A Fleeting Moment
Life’s too short to be filled with regrets,
To dwell on the past and forget,
That every moment is a treasure,
A fleeting moment, to seize with pleasure.

Carpe Diem
Life’s too short for excuses and delay,
For waiting until another day,
Seize the moment, seize the day,
Live your life, seek out your way.

Make it Count
Life’s too short to waste on the mundane,
To settle for less and complain,
Make each moment count, make it grand,
And leave a legacy, forever to stand.

Medium Poems

Carpe Diem

Life is but a fleeting moment,
So seize it while you can.
Live each day with zest and joy,
For time will soon outrun.

Don’t wait for tomorrow,
To chase your dreams and goals.
Act on them today,
And let your spirit unfold.

Carpe Diem, seize the day,
For you never know what’s in store.
Embrace life with open arms,
And let your heart explore.

Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back,
Take the leap of faith and soar.
For life is too short to waste,
On things that won’t matter anymore.

So live each day to the fullest,
With passion, purpose, and love.
For when life comes to an end,
You’ll be glad you’ve lived enough.

Ode to Life

Life, oh life, how beautiful you are,
A wondrous journey filled with highs and lows.
A precious gift bestowed upon us all,
That we must cherish before it goes.

From the first breath that we take,
To the last one that we give,
Life is a grand adventure,
Full of memories that forever live.

We’re born into this world,
Like a blank canvas waiting to be painted.
And as we grow, we color it with love,
Leaving footprints that won’t be faded.

Life may not always be kind,
And its challenges may seem too hard to bear,
But it’s in those moments of adversity,
That we find strength and character to share.

So let’s celebrate life,
In all its beauty and grandeur.
For every moment we have,
Is a treasure we must treasure.

Long Poems

The Fleeting Beauty of Life

Life is but a fleeting moment,
A breath upon the wind.
A fragile thing that can be gone,
Before it even begins.

We rush and hurry through our days,
Not stopping to take it in.
We miss the beauty all around,
And let life just slip away.

The flowers that bloom in the spring,
The leaves that fall in the fall.
The snow that blankets the ground,
And the sun that warms us all.

These things pass by unnoticed,
As we race around in our haste.
We forget to stop and appreciate,
The beauty that surrounds our days.

Life is too short to always be busy,
To never take a moment to rest.
To always be rushing from one thing to the next,
And miss the moments that are best.

So slow down and take a breath,
Pause and look around.
Watch the world as it unfolds,
And let its beauty surround.

For life is but a fleeting moment,
A precious gift to behold.
Let us cherish each and every day,
And let its beauty never grow old.

Fleeting Moments

Life, so fragile and fleeting
Moments come, then they’re beating
Passing by, no time for greeting
You better catch them, no cheating

Childhood years, oh so sweet
Running fast, playing in the street
Growing up, nothing’s concrete
Every second counts, no retreat

Youthful days, full of fire
Living life, fueled with desire
Chasing dreams, don’t tire
Life’s too short, aim higher

Middle age, time to reflect
Hoping for a life, perfect
Things to cherish and protect
Each moment, an object to collect

Old age, life’s last stage
Making peace, with every page
Forgiving, letting go of rage
Preparing for life’s final wage

Fleeting moments, life goes fast
No time to dwell, on the past
Make every day, one that will last
Life’s too short, make it a blast.
