Emile Pinet Poet Quatern

Notes About The Poem

                   

Does Anybody Care

Does anybody out there care
that the world is falling apart?
And kids get shot and killed in schools
by other children, toting guns.

Politicians are liars: yet
does anybody out there care?
They'll let climate change ravage our
overpopulated planet.

As human interactions wane,
folks connect through the internet.
Does anybody out there care
about social skills anymore?

Scientists forecast droughts and plagues,
and still, no one seems that concerned.
Given the fact that all could die,
does anybody out there care?

Eve Roper March 18, 2020 at 5:04 PM perfect example for the contest. I've not entered, but I do need to try... Please stay safe. Hugs Eve Emile Pinet March 18, 2020 at 5:34 PM Thanks Eve, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Seeker Shadow March 12, 2020 at 2:39 PM Seems that topics such as this create a void in trying to cover so much in such a short space. You did a very good job by enticing the mind to travel further. Great work. Emile Pinet March 18, 2020 at 5:33 PM Thanks Seeker, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Lochan Chugh March 6, 2020 at 2:44 AM I think, People do care about it; But they feel unable or too small to make any changes. But they forget “It is the small droplets that make the ocean.” Overall, great work . I am preety much affected. Emile Pinet March 6, 2020 at 8:38 AM Thanks Lochan, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Tamanna Ferdous March 1, 2020 at 8:45 PM It is a huge effort. There are minuscule efforts, will those be acknowledged or recognized? My world is small and personal, I feel it one way, someone with vast knowledge and wider perception would explain in different way. But both lead to a way- a way toward progression, not a word to humiliate or manipulate. Thanks for your poem. Emile Pinet March 2, 2020 at 9:24 AM Thanks Tamanna, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2020 at 11:29 AM We see our planet in a state of decline and wish there were more we could do to protect it, Emile. If enough people "care," then global warming and pollution will be addressed. We're running out of time to save Earth. Excellent poem! Best wishes, carolyn Emile Pinet February 25, 2020 at 5:16 PM Thanks Carolyn, I appreciate your comments and I agree with what you say my friend, Emile.

Reason A. Poteet February 16, 2020 at 1:47 PM Have always loved the quatern for emphasis. You did it beautifully Emile with a sincere pledge for someone to step up to the front lines and act. Thanks for sharing. Emile Pinet February 16, 2020 at 4:51 PM Thanks Reason, I appreciate your encouraging comments my friend, Emile.

Krish Radhakrishna February 11, 2020 at 3:44 PM Great poem that addresses all the immediate and future concerns! Well compiled. Thanks for setting an example for the contestants to follow. I shall see if I get the inspiration to write on the topic. Currently quite dismayed by world politics in general! Emile Pinet February 12, 2020 at 8:30 AM Thanks Krish, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Charles Messina February 11, 2020 at 6:54 AM Great example for your contest, Emile. A thought provoking and well written statement and poem. All the best my friend. -Charlie BTW, I've been enjoying your book :) Emile Pinet February 11, 2020 at 8:35 AM Thanks Charles, I appreciate your support and I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying my book, I read your book as well and found it to be an enjoyable experience, you are a talented poet my friend, Emile.

Lonna Blodgett February 10, 2020 at 1:02 PM Good message Emile. It seems to me like the human race, and in turn the world is going through a real and terrible transition. But it also seems to me as cruel as it seems that we need to go through it to replenish all that we have taken away. It is surely a time for us to let go and at the same time give back. It is an awkward dance. Thank you for all the great words! Lonna Emile Pinet February 10, 2020 at 3:40 PM Thanks Lonna, I appreciate your comments and I must say I agree with you my friend, Emile.

Connie Marcum Wong February 8, 2020 at 9:07 PM I think people do care they just feel powerless to make changes when the politicians don't listen to help us change the laws. We recycle most everything and conserve water, things that the general public never used to think about. Excellent example Emile. xxoo Emile Pinet February 9, 2020 at 8:08 AM Thanks Connie, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Andrea Dietrich February 7, 2020 at 7:15 PM excellent message and form that you used for it, emile. yes, we are going to feel the horrible effects one day. I think we just go through our days living in the now because it's all too scary to think about. I am so glad you liked my sonnet. Thanks for the win. Emile Pinet February 8, 2020 at 7:53 AM Thanks Andrea, I agree with what you are saying, write me a poem that expresses that opinion my friend, I look forward to reading it, Emile.

Constance La France February 7, 2020 at 6:28 PM Emile, excellent poem and thought provoking, is anyone listening and if so do they care... great example for your contest _Constance Emile Pinet February 8, 2020 at 7:50 AM Thanks Constance, I look forward to reading you new entry my friend, Emile.

John Watt February 7, 2020 at 5:57 PM A powerful write, Emile. Very current. I like the quatern form and how smoothly you inject the refrain at different places within the quatrain. Maybe check the spelling of 'no one' on line 14? Cheers ~ John Emile Pinet February 7, 2020 at 6:12 PM Thanks John, I appreciate you catching that typo my friend, Emile.
