Comment Or No Comment

I have a few minutes and no more
To read some poems right now.
I grab some coffee and peruse
As many as I can allow.

I’ve had my fix and so I’m off
For the duties of the day.
I dare not sign in and comment.
Too much time will get away.

Some times there is a poem
Of which I can’t make sense.
I cannot write about it,
Because I am too dense.

Once in a while, one makes me blush.
My mama would be shocked.
It surely is not so bad to others
Or else it would be blocked.

So I don’t comment on it
And am swiftly on my way.
I take time to answer others
And always mean what I say.

I never rate less than seven.
So if you hear from me.
You can be sure that I enjoyed it
And will want some more to see.

So this is my entry, Hgarvey Esquire,
I hope it catches your eye.
But if it’s not what you desire, 
It’s okay…. just pass it by.


For Commments vs View contest Won No. 2
