Jeffry Cohan Poet Quatrain

Heal Better Fast

HEAL BETTER FAST

there is no way
nothing i can say
but to say i ache
at nature's mistake

someone like this lady should never be ill
and to hear of it is a putrid pill
it's difficult to swallow why she'd be in pain
when i can't figure out who has what to gain

i felt her discomfort as she typed a note
and believe me i know pain by rote
but that's just my pain and her's hurts more
because her kindness and talent are imossible to ignore

she doesn't know this but the lady taught me about sympathy
and made me understand the difference between that and empathy
so now all i'm left to do is pray to the universe and/or the moon
that this lovely lady feel better soon
         this doesn't need to be copywrited    it's just a sincere homage 
              to a really nice lady   ~free!~

Dan Kearley November 14, 2011 at 4:46 PM Is this to a fellow poet-ess? If it is,it might be the same one I know.I am hoping for her health to return.

Jim Wilson November 14, 2011 at 2:56 PM What a nice wish for your friend. I like the way this opens up; starting with short lines and gradually having the lines lengthen. I think that's a nice touch. Jim
