Topic: ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN (04/13/17)
Accidents will happen
if you don't take care,
they are just waiting
to get you in their snare.

Prevention is important,
better than a cure,
if you touch a hot stove
you'll get burnt for sUre.

Accidental meetings
may lead to more
friendships and togetherness
are worthwhile for sure.

If you walk under a ladder
it may fall on you,
it's not just superstition,
it can be really true.

If you go bush walking
not really prepared,
accidents can happen,
leaving you uncared.

Accidents can happen
in our daily lives,
falling on a slippery floor
where to walk was unwise.

A random light in a painting,
a music note is undone,
all can go to prove to us,
accidents can be fun.

Accidents can happen
as we grow older
with fading sight and hearing
do not grow bolder.

Accidents cam happen
on a highway in a car,
in a moment of inattention
we may not see what's there.

There are accidents in planes
from sabotage or war,
when innocent spectators
are found around no more.

Accidents can happen at sea
and lives sent to eternity,
by fire and holing and cyclonic wind,
people are lost to a community.

It was no accident God sent Jesus
to die for people's sin,
He had planned it all
since the world began.

Your first verse hooked me although I am a harsh critic of poetry. I like to see rhythm if not necessarily rhyming, and some of your verses were good. I feel you were perhaps time challenged and could have concentrated on some planning and polishing, but well done. I shall look for more.

I feel the same that you may have been challenged for time. It has lots of potential and some very good verse.

You have written a nice take on accidents. With God there is no accident except what he allows for his own purpose. Think about this one.

I enjoyed reading your poem.

An interesting take on the topic.

So many accidents can occur in life. As you mentioned, Jesus coming to earth and dying in our place was NOT one.

Many Blessings to you.
