About This Poem

Hands

Necessity sometimes demands
We use our head and not our hands
Perhaps one day our hands will be
An obsolete extremity

    I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Jon. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol

    Puzzling thought. How will the floating heads be fed? By those that use their hands and not their head? I needn't worry I'll be dead.

    Unfortunately, we don't use our heads enough... for some that is already an obsolete extremity... Terry (Funny poem, Jon)
