2010 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 30

All our writing sites are currently down, but I don't want that to (completely) spoil the final day of the 2010 November PAD Chapbook Challenge. Here are today's two-for-Tuesday poetry prompts:

1. Write a lessons learned poem. Could be lessons learned by the narrator or someone (or something) else.
2. Write a never going to learn poem.

Here's my attempt:

"Lessons learned living here"

Believe it or not, the world is getting
heavier and lighter at the same time.
