Emotion

What a blessing this thing called emotion It saves us from acting robotic It separates us from the monkeys they say To make sense of this world so chaotic It's how they define us as humans I guess The ability to have inner thoughts But for some it's much easier than others I'm sure Their emotions are close to the top So unless you're robotic by nature it seems You must be aware of the strain That emotions can be so rich and uplifting But can also inflict so much pain I don't know the answer why some of us hurt While others go on with their day The ones with emotions that are close to the top Are the friends to whom I can relate So unless you're someone who's cold and unfeeling You're my chum till my very last hour Just say something sweet and you'll bring on a smile It will seem like you just sent me flowers ©Jack Ellison 2012

I have commented on many of your poems in the past, and I notice I haven't even made a dent of progress going through you work. I promised you once that I will read all your poems! I haven't forgotten you, just have been such a busy bee! Anyway, I want to say how amazed I am with the amount of poems you have written.. so many gems here, and this is one of them. Emotion is truly a gift of life. Who but my favorite poet on the soup to elucidate this fact? I respect you with love. Always, Laura
