In the heart of life
we grow
sometimes friends
sometimes foes
to build and construct
or even to destruct
but
we all end
wretched and
worthless
six
feet
under
under a grave stone

the repetition here is intended to give the reader a caution / kind of warning(unless it distracts) . I also wanted
to change the title to "a dead end" thought that might be a more memorable title but would it be too pessimistic? What do you think?

This piece is great and is as the workshop asks,
Just as Beau the double under is distracting , two things to do one as Beau suggests or just drop the second under all together, it will read just as good, Yours Ian.T
i disagee rula
with ian and beau
although it was something that i noticed and wondered about, and i almost suggested a change, but then decided that i liked it - the repeated 'under'... it gives a feel of inevitableness with the emphasis
i really like the metaphor
'In the heart of life
we grow'
i love this write - one of the best i have read of yours. it is a well-written and memorable way of saying something old
my only suggestion - neither here nor there really, but given for the sake of something to offer - lol - perhaps lose the 'even to' in 'or even to destruct'

but am not pretty sure how it is going to read
