Notes About The Poem
10/1/2025 for The Power of Kindness Poetry Contest sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose
Egad, It's Spreading
Hear ye, hear ye, and understand,
something's spreading across the land.
Oh dread, it's like a virus or a bug -
or a most extraordinary drug.
This strange thing (they call it kindness)
does not cause pain or blindness.
It spreads, East to West, North to South,
when you smile and don't cover your mouth.
Warning: if you are feeling bad,
and you pass it on, you'll feel glad.
It has a life all of its own,
making folks feel they're not alone.
Great God, it spreads like wildfire,
a resistance is so hard to acquire.
I confess. I was down and exposed to it.
When you receive it, you can't forget!
