A World without poetry

A world without poetry,
Is not for me.
A world without poetry,
Would have no place in it for me.
A world without poetry,
Is something that would make hope hard for me.
A world without poetry,
Would suck the joy out of me.

Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry,
For me,
Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry,
For more than just me,
Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry,
For the generations that will come after me.
Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry,
That will not die with me.

In a world where poetry still has a place,
At more than just my place,
The future of the Human Race,
Is one race,
For a bet I must place.

Jan Allison Date: 4/1/2024 4:23:00 AM Love the sentiment David especially as I didn't start writing until 2013 and was never a poetry fan before then but i do like to try and raise a smile with my silly poems, am working on humour book number 2 now! hugs jan xx Login to Reply David Smith Date: 4/1/2024 10:52:00 AM I wrote when I poems from time to time even in my youth - mostly love poems (still a hopeless romantic in a world where only a few still exist) but did not appreciate I had a gift until I found the soup in 2016 just in time for my sanity to keep. Thanks for positive comments Jan. and I tend to think you are still sane too. Best regards always David in NZ

Silent One Date: 3/24/2024 8:16:00 AM What a dull world that world that would be David.. Nicely done.. Login to Reply David Smith Date: 3/24/2024 11:56:00 AM Thanks. It keeps me sane, and I get a kick out of brightening up the day of others when I share what I write with others, and I like the challenge of writing on demand when someone gives me a word or a phrase to see what I can come up with. My day goes better also when I read other authors. Enjoy the Easter break and be kind to yourself. Rgards David in NZ
