David O'Haolin Whalen Poet Rhyme

Don'T It Feel Good

Don’t it feel good
When you rise in the morn
Sippin’ your cofffee
Feeling the sun on your face?

Hearin’ doves cooing, 
sparrows twitterin’
Feelin’ kinda good 
Bout the whole human race.

Don’t it feel good 
When you give a smile to a stranger
And the smile is returned
With  uninhibited grace?

Don’t it feel good 
To compliment someone
With praise as priceless
As Chantilly lace?

Don’t it feel good
To watch the surprise
And the warm glow of pride
That comes over their face?

don’t it feel good
To love evvvverybody…
The way that 
Everyone could ?

Live your life… 
the way you know you should
And what’d I say? 
Don’t it feel good… to feel good?



(Yes! The "don't" is intentiona!)

Donald Reith July 12, 2012 at 3:55 PM Excellent work David and thanks for the tips. I am getting rid of the commas.I really like your style. David O'Haolin Whalen July 12, 2012 at 7:01 PM Thanks for the nice words Donald, and thanks for taking my comments in the intended way. a lot of poets really get their noses out of joint If you say anything but compliments about their poetry.

Carol Sunshine Brown July 12, 2012 at 11:50 AM I have enjoyed reading your excellent poetry today David. I look forward to reading more of it as time permits. Love, Carol David O'Haolin Whalen July 12, 2012 at 6:58 PM Glad you enjoyed this one Carol, and I hope your time permits, since I have about 5 hundred more to post. Thanks for giving me some of your valuable time.

Brandi Simpson July 11, 2012 at 9:34 PM Well, I feel good after reading this poem. Another smile from me! David O'Haolin Whalen July 12, 2012 at 6:56 PM You helped make my day Brandi, If I can make someone smile or even nod their heads in agreement, then I've done what I wanted to do. (and that makes me feel good!) Thanks for your time!

Robert Pettit July 11, 2012 at 7:51 PM It was good to read your poem, even though for correct grammar, you should have been writing "Doesn't it feel good?" Robert Pettit July 11, 2012 at 8:31 PM I understand David. After all, how would Elvis Presley sound singing "You Aren't Anything but a Hound Dog"?, or Ringo Starr singing "It Doesn't Come Easily"? David O'Haolin Whalen July 11, 2012 at 8:07 PM Thanks for the comment Robert, but I do know my do's and don'ts! The "don't" was intentional as I wanted to give the piece a casual ordinary quality. It's been posted on three other sites for a few years and you're the first to not have seen my intention, but thanks anyway since a lot of unintentional errors slip by us all the time (but honestly, swear to God, this was intentional)
