Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered....

Bewitched by some poems, they are a dream to read
Who could not comment, on the ones that succeed
To thrill me with beauty...and inspire...indeed!
Winning my heart....and taking the lead?

But when bothered by some, that shout angry phrases
Not to my liking....not quite my tastes
Perhaps slamming is fine, for others to call
But bid it with comments?  I'll say nothing at all....
They can accuse me...of leaving blank spaces...

Bewildered by some poems....they seem a big puzzle
Perhaps it is me...who is having a struggle
Over and over....I'll read and I'll juggle
It is best not to comment....so I put on a muzzle
The wrong comment made, may hurt...or cause trouble

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered....each poem has it's song....
If it touches my heart....I will comment, and hum right along...



Inspired by H.G.'s Contest....."Comments Verses Views"

Carrie, I love you piece. It made me smile and nod my head in agreement. And so interestingly titled as well. Hope your weekend is going great ;) Wilma

We really think alike on this subject, Carrie. When I start to read poetry that is filled with negative emotions or attacks on others, I just move on to another poem. Sometimes I will read a poem two or three times and still not grasp the writer's meaning. Again, no comment that comes from the heart. I love the song on which your title is based. Excellent entry! Thumbs up all the way on the message. Love, Carolyn

I like comments that inspire or correct...any comment is nice to know someone cares enough to type a simple phrase or two. A smile will make my day!
