Had we no friends to praise, How bare would be success?  more Friendship Poems Find Some Clowns Poet: Catherine Pulsifer Life can be tricky and full of woes, Ups and downs that nobody knows.

Poetic writings and rhymes have been around for centuries and have been passed down from generation to generation. It is not just about the rhyme but it is the meaning each sentence has that conveys meaning. At times, a few words can express more thoughts and influence and impact a person than a book full of writings. Poetry can help anyone to express their feelings; are great to share, and, at times, can even change a person's thinking in a particular situation or circumstance. They can encourage and inspire by adding positive thoughts to your day. As L.V. Seachild said, "Poems tell a story - it's just that the words rhyme." Stories can inspire us and give us hope. They can teach us lessons we otherwise may not experience. Poems are a way of expressing and sharing thoughts and experiences. So let the rhyme in these verses tell a story for you.
