Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Comment From Becca

Sweet Becca Lucas told me recently 
My silliness makes her roar
Confided though, if given the choice
Prefers my serious poems more

My comfort zone has always been humour
Find humour in almost all things
A cockeyed look at this sad old world
Every morning I'm ready to sing

Till Becca confided, I was unaware
My serious poems made a impact
After all these years on this planet of ours
In life, experienced most aspects

Just chug along now in my own domain
Hoping to improve the outcome
So hearing a comment like Becca just made
It made my old heartstrings hum

Thank you Becca for your thoughtfulness

Carol Eastman September 8, 2013 at 4:57 PM Dragon decided that if you can sing in the morning, then he will, too. More like caterwauling than singing... I made an emergency call to Miss Kitty Purffect to give him singing lessons... and to get him to tone his volume down... What a set of lungs he has... She decided to give him guitar lessons to redirect him... YES, he's REALLY that bad! She's going to teach him a few folk songs... so he can be like you... watch out! Competition is on the way! NOT!... I've heard him... Tone deaf!... LOL

Eileen Manassian September 7, 2013 at 1:21 PM I agree with Becca...you have several serious ones that are just lovely! Everyone has their genre to write it...WE NEED YOUR HUMOR, JACK! Please...don't change! Lovely poem in tribute of Becca. She has the gift of encouragement! Hey...I will NOT HAVE YOU CALL YOURSELF AN OLD GEEZER!!! Go back and read my answer to your post on Passion Unfurled! HUGS

Russell Sivey September 7, 2013 at 6:39 AM As you know already, I've always been a fan of your humor, but I can see Becca's point, your serious poetry has a certain tug on the heartstrings! However that being said, I still prefer your humor Jack, might be because you are so naturally awesome at it, you are a humorous person by nature my friend! This is so a tenderhearted dedication to Becca, I loved reading this tremendous poem here this morning! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!
