Discoveries...

 

 PAD Challenge day 5:  Write a discovery poem

I have discovered the sultan of pride

Is not easily dethroned

Master-mind of a thousand lies

Though with my tear-drops stoned

I have discovered love’s great joy

Is like a quick switch-blade

For sorrow keens its sharpest curve

Where joy its acme laid

I have discovered in your eyes

How there, the truth oft slips

Regardless of the syllables

A-flounder on your lips

I have discovered beauty’s best

Is not a thing of skin

Its fairness is unparalleled

Where love shines from within

I have discovered year on year

That life’s ceaseless return

Regardless of status or age

Are more lessons to learn
