Plaudit
- a Poem
- by Jethro André Jolliffe
It feels nice you know,
When a hall full of people
Only talk about one person,
That one person
being you.
It feels nice you know,
From being getting called ‘her son’ & ‘his son’
To now known as “Jets, the poet”
To be getting to be known by so many,
That you never thought you could do.
It feels nice you know,
When you get appreciated.
When what you do
Touches the hearts of so many,
you never knew.
It feels nice you know,
Even nervous at times.
Taught me a thing;
Moving Forward, Onward. Up.
Choose the way you see your cup.
Not all things come easy,
Doesn’t mean you give up.
Ergo,
Success is failure,
Turned inside out.
It may be near,
But seems afar.

Nice lines, well written. Making your own identity is a great achievement. You changed yourself a lot, many more is yet to know. Keep on progressive ?
That’s the way you discover the way you mould yourself & carve out a niche for one’s self!!!
Continue to strive and keep extending your boundaries….
Jethro,
I applaud your openness and honesty in penning down your thoughts and emotions. May you always see your cup as half full!
To finish in the words of Winston Churchill “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
It really feels nice to hear some mature words in this one I applaud from the bottom of my heart ….
“Success is failure turned inside out”……This is impressive. Very well written. Great job.
