WHAT’S THAT WHICH I NEED TO HAVEEntry #491203
WHAT’S THAT WHICH I NEED TO HAVE



What’s that which I need to have,
But which I have not got.
How to live, chasing wishes,
I have rather forgot.

Is it not enough I have
A body in good health.
For my two meals and a roof,
I have sufficient wealth.

I don’t need a palace, nor,
A Rolls-Royce to drive?
Without royal luxuries,
Why cannot I survive?

Much of the worldly woes are
Rather man’s creations,
Caused by unwillingness to
Curb his aspirations.

Simple living, high thinking,
Was the good old advice.
Lure of wealth has made, rather,
Simplicity, a vice!



• Written in abcb, 7-6-7-6 format.

* Written as a sample poem around the prompt “What’s that which I need to have” for the month of March 2007 for 18th round of my monthly contest "POETRY IN RHYME - RHYTHM CONTEST-winner" 

• Please copy and paste the following in your review: This is a review for “entry:491203", taking care to substitute the inverted commas by paentheses { }.
