Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Poetic Plea

A Poetic Plea
Poets bring some sweetness and light to the Soup
There's too much bitterness and ain't that the truth
A little spice, lots of love goes a long way
Blowing over the sea and far, far away.

Poetry is the language of a poet's heart
A language not meant to tear people apart
Those wishing to stir up enmity and hate
Do not use poetry sites to cast your bait.

Victor Buhagiar April 23, 2021 at 5:21 AM Excellent advice, Belle. I know some around here who should heed your words. Beryl Edmonds April 23, 2021 at 11:43 AM Thank you Victor... Belle

Gershon Wolf April 11, 2021 at 7:54 AM Such a 'sweet say,' casting the light of Truth onto a suddenly sore subject around the Soup. Haven't seen it like this in my 3+ years of posting. Hope it settles down immediately. Beautifully worded, Belle! Beryl Edmonds April 11, 2021 at 9:22 AM I hope it settles down too, I’ve never come across such behaviour before either. Thank you Gershon... Belle

Eve Roper April 10, 2021 at 8:50 PM Well said, Belle. I love this site , so I try very hard not to read the negative; makes for a peaceful place. Beryl Edmonds April 11, 2021 at 9:20 AM Best not to read or get involved with anything negative, it’s not what poetry is about. Thank you Eve... Belle

Alexis Y. April 7, 2021 at 1:20 PM Hi Belle, I agree with your wise words and advice. The last line sums up your poetic plea very well. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 3:41 PM Hi Alexis, thank you kindly, have a wonderful day too ~ Belle :-)

Darlene De Beaulieu April 7, 2021 at 11:37 AM Hello Belle Bellevue, I do agree with you. Well said my friend. Enjoy ytour day. Darlene De Beaulieu April 8, 2021 at 10:23 AM Hello Belle, you are welcome my poet pal. Enjoy your day. Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 3:40 PM Thank you Darlene - poet pal, you enjoy the rest of the day... Belle

Ilene Bauer April 7, 2021 at 9:56 AM you've said this so well, belle! it's a shame that a few rotten apples try to do whatever they can to turn people against each other. poetry is not the forum for that - in this, you are 100% correct... Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 10:36 AM Thank you Ilene, the forum is not a place meant for rants, it’s for reading, writing, learning about and appreciating poetry... Belle

Jan Allison April 7, 2021 at 9:45 AM well said Belle some folk like to stir the pot rather than write poetry but its being going on for years, pretty pathetic behaviour - he thrives on causing tension and creating havoc I have him blocked:-( hugs jan xx Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 10:23 AM Thank you Jan, it’s attention-seeking behaviour, what they don’t realise it puts them out of favour. Hugs, Belle :-) xx

Tom Cunningham April 7, 2021 at 8:45 AM Well said Belle, its a site to share poetry, not a battleground to rant and rave about which party got in. I couldn't care less who's leading what country. Just accept it that democracy won and move on. Tom Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 9:35 AM Thank you Tom, poetry is what the site is all about, ranters and ravers should be shown the way out... Belle

Silent One April 7, 2021 at 8:44 AM I agree totally with your words.. Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 9:32 AM Thank you Silent One... Belle

Jenna Logan April 7, 2021 at 8:35 AM Excellent advice, Belle. Followed by most, but for the few who insist on being argumentative. Thanks for posting this. Beryl Edmonds April 7, 2021 at 9:31 AM Thank you Jenna, it’s the few spoilers who need to heed those words of wisdom “Let it be.” ~ Belle
