Convenient Friends
Who are these poets?
Who stay up at all hours?
Commenting to your poems?
Don’t they have a life of their own?
A husband...a lover ..perchance?
The genuine closeness of two,
Under the moon and stars?
Or are they just.....lonely?
Hungry for true relations?
Selling out for empty, meaningless communications?
The pretense..that they are your friends?
How good is your poem?
I really do not know..
I do not count the numbers who left
meaningless, one word comments.
It’s really up to therm to decide.
And with others take a genuine poetic ride.
But to peck out meaningless comments?
Why?
It’s so you will be noticed, won’t You?
As some deep caring soul, might comment to you.
A game of life, we do play too many hours a day.
Whilst our real life, runs away!
