Bet You Don'T Like To Read Poems

Nicely penned poems are very rare to be adored. The brilliant wisdom expressed through words is always being ignored. People care less about sharing what poets want to convey. They care more about the issues of others; have much more things to say. A rhyme royal poem is nothing compared to a Facebook meme. A disdained Dizain is more silent than a Twitter’s scream. And so my folks will give you thumbs up for a cleavage post. They get more a thousand hearts than a magnificently written prose. If poetry can only flabbergast the world once again and trend, Its words can be passed through ages and transcend. For what is worth to listen and read is a literary masterpiece. Not to mention my neighbor who shares rumors online; I never get peace. If all that is going on in the media can be transposed to poetry, It would make books of elegies and dramatic monologues in my country. But I can sense the people’s loss of interest; many poems are ignored. Nicely penned poems are very rare to be adored. Note: I always feel that my friends on social media have no care at all about poems that I posted. I don't know but I just find things really very weird.

Hello Lei Strauss, some of my family that live far away ask what did you write? Some of my faraway friends say I do not understand what you wrote. So i have to explain my poetry to them. Other friends do understand my poetry. It is nice to meet you. Enjoy your day my friend.Happy New Year. Enjoy your day my friend.

Many things in today's world seem weird. Let me adjust that... things ARE weird right now. I do love reading poetry, and appreciate the thoughts of others, whether tragic, humorous, or incidental musings. Shame on one who calls himself a poet if he/she does not value the verses of others. thank you for posting your thoughts...they mirror my own, Lei.
