Gardenia Scented Poetic Cart

Be thou kindness, ruler in my heart! Shake any evil from my quill. No harsh words to depart, To soil another poets will. Let rays of sunshine beam from every line, To brighten another poets heart. My humble heart with theirs entwined, In a gardenia scented poetic cart. Oh, let me be humble at my best. And see their talent in all its fine glory. Put me to the Muses hardest test! That I pen a poem, never to be sorry. Above all, save me from my own pomposity. For 'tis too easy, with pride to be bent. Save me from thoughts of my own grandiosity. Sitting alone in pride's lonesome tent. February 24, 2020 11 am PST

Dearest Besma! You are so terrificly poetic,even in comments. Would that I were so graciously gifted and blessed. I think, honestly, this is one of my very best. Both in form and in its meaning. It takes some spiritituality to get this one. It rises above the commonplace..I mean that in a humble way. Honored by your visit, dear Besma! Panagiota xx

Golly, Ann! Thank you for FAVing this..was far from an easy write for me. Do you use the +FAV button on top of the page? I do...I have a ton of saved poems. The Poet Who wrote it gets a notice from PS. I don't Know if all the poets use this. I do. Otherwise it's a small fave of the repliers. Either way is nice, Panagiota and ^~^ thank you.
