Saeed Jones-Inspired Poetry

Trial and Error

A glass is half full

is half empty

is hope to be filled

is joy to be felt is

a better future

is a college education is a life that is full

is people saying “You’re amazing!”

A glass is empty – of hope

is empty of joy is uncertainty is doubt

is failure is fear is people saying “It’s not good enough.”

A glass is growing up, is failing then succeeding

is life is me and you, is the beginning.

A glass

is trying.
