Tuck Everlasting

The concept is forever, eternal life, everlasting, cycles and natural patterns.
Write a poem that connects to this concept, the book and the themes of cycles.

Then post it on the blog... I look forward to reading your work!

Cursed for Eternity
To live forever is to twist fate's lever,
I would deeply regret that bitter fate,
To never walk through heaven's gate,
Watching loved ones waste away,
While you sit free of decay,
To be cursed for eternity,
I do not wish for you or me.

Blessing of Immortality
The blessing of immortality is what I want,
To avoid the final debt of life is what I wish,
Seeing my descendants grow,
Gaining knowledge as I go,
The current of time taking me with the flow,
As day is to night, I will be to Death himself,
Never knocking on his doors,
The blessing of immortality is what I shall get.

The deep bottom you can't Reach

An eternal lifetime Is like a deep pool,
You want to get to the bottom,
But it seems as if your feet will not feel anything for days,
It is close to impossible to reach the bottom,
Eternal life is neverending,
others lives are bending,
on that day when they cannot wake up,
It's like drinking juice,
when you are at the bottom of the cup,
That person who's at they're end,
will be in the heavens,
for you each day does not matter,
surely you will have another.

I've always lived on earth,
even from it's bith,
I've lived for 100,000,000 years,
and I had a fraction of the beards,
Eternal life is what I despise,
always living in disguise,
So don't live for eternety,
at least for you and me.

Here is the revised edition of my second poem.

Blessing of Immortality

The blessing of immortality is what I want,
To avoid the final debt of life is what I wish,
Seeing my descendants grow,
Gaining knowledge as I go,
The current of time taking me with the flow,
Enjoying the never ending ride of life.

Immortality

Would you want to live forever
Is that what you want to be
Completely in immortality
Watching your loved ones come and go
Is living forever a blessing so
Or a curse you will always bestow

Forever

Forever, such a long word.
Not to be seen only can be heard. For mortal life the clock strikes one, forever now, our days are done. Immortal, to always be different, there is the spring, make your decision. You’ll never be old or new, you’ll just be the same old you. Think twice, before you drink, because you don’t know what forever will be.

Going Nowhere


I stand still as time flies by
Life goes on and on
Everything changes
Except for I

It's so continuous
A cycle that never ends
I'm always lonely and hoepless

You don't enjoy foreverness forever

Could You Enjoy Yourself Forever?
It’s more than a lifetime
Its infinite and forever
No matter what you do
You will be there on and on
Even though you wish
You’ll never run out of time
To never be noticed is what you have to do
You get bored with just about everything
You never have to worry is it today or tomorrow?
You’ll be on this earth forever
You could enjoy it
But most do not
You wish you could end it, stop it, transform it
But you can’t so just accept it

The gift of life I had taken for granted
Never wondering about the curse
The curse of immortally
But as my 22nd birthday
Of staying the same
As I would eternally
It dawned on me
That I had been
The center of a curse
The greatest of them all
The curse of everlasting life


Now I watch
Like a bird on its perch
I watch life go by
Knowing I can not die
Through wars
Through sorrow
I watch everyday life go by


It has been centuries now
But I have not stopped hoping
A hope
A dream that anyone
Without this curse would find crazy
For I hope that I too will die
I wish to die like anyone
Anyone without this terrible terrible
Curse

The Circle of Life

The circle of life
The way the world runs
To live forever
To never die
Would break the circle of life

To die
I am not afraid
For to not die
I would be breaking the circle of life

To live forever
I would be
The height of a ferris wheel
My circle of life
Would be stuck at its highest point
To live forever
Would break the circle of life

Every life has a circle
From birth to death
But to live forever
There would not be a complete
A complete circle of life

To live forever
That curse of eternal life
I would not wish for you or me
Because to live forever
Would break the circle of life
