This poem was the result of a poetrysoup chat in the chatroom. Both Tim and Darren have shown such warth and kindness to others, I thought this should be celebrated!

How Do I See You People often wonder How they are perceived Some think they're kind and nice When really they are filled with greed Some are selfish and self-righteous fools A few think their beauty is mascara in blue Some feel that de meaning others makes them upright They usually run, when challenged to the fight So now the question comes down to this How do I see you Sir or do you wish to stay in bliss You are not normal, that’s for sure You may suffer from emotions’ scares Your pain may be physical and intense as a hot star So no you’re not normal, you can’t fly away Too many look up to you For your noble and kind ways You give comfort and solace to those in need Your kindness exceeds even a Rich kings largest decree You are an engineer and builder of dreams Reaching out to people with compassion, sometimes unseen You belong in the kingdom of heaven I do believe they have an all Irish bar section! Its there we can share a brew or maybe a few Laughing at those who live downstairs in hotter pews

It's great observation of people s behaviour. They wish to show what they aren't and acting veils them. Kindly assess my works I've just joined

This is a very entertaining poem...though there's a lot of truth there too. I just love the last line. And, congrats on making the "Best New Poems" list. P.S. I'm coming back to your chatroom one of these crazy 'ol nights. ;-)

Hello Arthur, Belated congratulations on POTD for this fabulous write. Let us hope for sure that there is an "Irish bar section" in the "kingdom of heaven." I would like to think they would serve champagne there too -- along with some very fine "Irish Whiskey." Both Tim and Darren are very fine writers for sure. The verse you've rendered here for them is a most fitting tribute for sure. Outstand Work!! I would prefer to be in the Irish bar section, vice the "hotter pews"!! 7/FAV!! Cheers, Gary

Just found this great POTD. I have no clue who the bad ones are but the two fine poets you spoke of are just that-fine people, great poets and caring individuals.

How wonderful is kinship with those we feel a special connection with and the two you mention are indeed true gentlemen. This is a wonderful tribute, Arthur , from another very caring man to two others.

Sometimes others perceive us different than we ourselves...I think I'm an old mule that needs to be set to pasture.
