Lin Lane Poet Monorhyme

Considerations

I care I search, and always I come to find
All is fair in love and war, but love is blind

Who dares to besmirch another is unkind
It is an insult when a person is maligned

I care I search but it remains undefined
how some lurch from shadows to spellbind

Who sits on a perch and is often inclined
to mock others? A caged parrot who's confined

I care I search but I will never be aligned
with racists whose hearts should be colorblind

Some attend church, hoping to be enshrined
but there they will find no peace of mind

I care I search but nothing can make me resigned
to spare the birch branch. I would spank a behind

Jeff Connelly October 1, 2023 at 5:32 AM A bit of a soft ending, no pun intended, to a really well worded and meaningful poem Lin. Thanks Jeff Connelly October 1, 2023 at 7:16 AM Thanks Lin, I shall; you as well :) Lin Lane October 1, 2023 at 5:58 AM Ya know something, Jeff... I never know what I'll read in a comment from you, but one thing for sure is that it'll never be boring. I had to giggle at the spanking in last line, but thought, "What the hay" and left it with a titch of humor after so many chastising couplets. Thanks for a Sunday visit. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Jan Allison October 1, 2023 at 4:29 AM I would care to search out that birch branch for you Lin, can think of a preaching parrot who I would love to knock off his perch lol:-) hugs Jan xx Lin Lane October 2, 2023 at 5:56 AM I did and posted it! Jan Allison October 1, 2023 at 6:32 AM could make a monoku lol Lin Lane October 1, 2023 at 4:41 AM Oh, Jan, I'm still laughing at your comments while typing this. Any stick that stings would work. There may even be a poem in your comment... alliterative at that. Preaching parrot on a perch! Thanks for the laughs and comments.
