Some of us enjoy the ride
And never think the worse.
Others fear the twists and turns,
Life's burdens are a curse.
Curiously we board the ride
Awaiting all its thrill.
But some of us get terrified
And start to feel quite ill.
Along the way
Some throw up their arms
While others cower and shrink.
"The ride is meant to cause us harm",
They cannot help but think.
No matter our reactions,
The ride eventually stops.
What's the fun if we don't smile,
For all the loops and drops?

Great poem , another perspective . Very interesting, almost a Paulo Coelho writing. Great!

What would life be like without our 'rollercoasters'? Quite boring, perhaps.

YES this is great Cathy! we are here to experience, and all experience is. it's not bad it's not good it just is and the way you see it and learn from it counts...yes, it does take the ups and downs to see in the end that it was all worth the while. I wouldn't trade my roller coaster for anything (smile)
great poem Cathy!!! :)

I really like this one! I like the way you compare rollercoasters with life, because with both you either love it or you hate it. I'm a loving rollercoasters sort of person. :) Great job! -Amelia
