Commenting Capers

Oh..without approval, we think we shall
all but die..
Thus, writing comments, till sunrise is 
just about all night?

A backslapping poetic troupe some be.
When did the Creator say,” honor each
poet, far more than me? “

These poets, are but Avatars that you
breathed life into.
You know them not, nor do they know you.
A mythical relationship in a poetry zoo!

My dear friend, sometimes life interferes so, seems not enough hours in te wek to keep up. Between creating/writing. responsibilities and tending to the sick, etc. Once I thought life took a backseat to my writings- now life teaches me such can not be so. Your poem speaks truthand that is always your mark. A fav.. God bless..

God bless you Robert! Life, those we love and ourselves must be cared for first. Animals, also even tending to. We cannot turn our backs on life, or our health, nor God. I wil never understand this. Poetry before health! I can’t dothat. Nor before home or husbands. Plus many here do work. Time is at a premium, Pangie

I think that the relationships developed in commenting are somewhere between real and unreal. Perhaps 'surreal' is the right term. ~ Salvador Dali

I have a yellowed REFLECTION FOR THE DAY from a now defunct newspaper posted above my computer. It is a quote of Charles Simic: "A poem is a secret shared by people who have never met each other." //"If a poem is recited in the woods and nobody hears it.....is it a poem?"//ok, ok, i'm stealing the old tree quote///

Very philosophical, Sir Lawless! I love long comments. And thoughtful ones so far, three of you, made me so Happy. I see poems here read, with zero comments. The poem washared but the hurry here to comment is a compulsion,plus worse....really this race to comment over composing poetry serves nobody. It’s game of tit for tat. And I don’t see the point of crowning top commenters. I may be plain dumb. I see winning contests lists, sure...commenting? NO prize. Pangie
