Kp Nunez Poet Rhyme

Being Kind, the Andaree

On malice toward some, and charity gone;
Hate words hurled, like ruined sauvignon.
Some, feeling like bitter rind,
have an axe to grind.
Can’t we be
kind?
Would it be
out of style, or mind?
Stretch a hand, be not unkind;
Let not the sun rise, nor there be dawn,
on malice toward some, and charity gone.

Connie Marcum Wong October 14, 2015 at 8:08 PM I found this form to be a challenge because of it needing a powerful first line that repeats in the end, but you have managed to make it look easy Kim. I think your entry shines! #7

John Fleming October 14, 2015 at 5:58 PM Auden says: "For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives in the valley of its making". As poets we can expect nothing to change but ourselves. It is the poetry that remains - and only the poetry! My very best regards to you, kim! Your friend always. :-) john
