Heh-heh. The 'old hummer' just posted a four-liner titled, 'A Minor Casualty of Free Speech.' Tell me what you think...

I laughed out loud at the last line! I reckon listening to repeats of the news, stirs up the social agitation, sadness and frustration that can make one sort of poetry but not the other. Time spent one on one with a dear one, or small child or dog outdoors slows things down and is poetic in itself I think. Seasons of life :)

I agree with you, Jeanette. The medium of poetry works best with the special moments as well as with previously undiscovered perceptions of what we call 'ordinary.' Thank you for your insightful comment. Blessings and bounty, Gershon
