Full of Compassion

Full of Compassion

Would you require or really need a referee
To separate poor poetry writing from exemplary
There are certain people who look toward
Receiving big prizes or maybe an award.

As for me, I am a simple and plain type
So everyone can dispense with all of the hype
Keep things at a minimum as well as short
Especially if talking about child support.

Discovered to Poetry Soup was doing my duty
By writing one more poem that is a beauty
Which I am sure by many will be found
Why in sorrow should you want to be drowned?

Read my many marvelous poems instead
Before lonely, pathetic  path ever being lead
Maybe a re-hashing will save from trashing
Love all of your comments full of compassion.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

There are quite a few important things to
be considered and pondered over here.

WEll have waded through my share of depressed poetry in the last 11 yrs and still do from time to time when asked to check something out. I think it's all about the balance James. I for one look for some of the light hearted writes. ~Jan
