I Understand

I get that my every poem will not
always resonate with your inner core
I get it I really do

I get that you seldom have time to chew
on thoughts subtle between the lines
it happens to me like it happens to you

I get that you may not be in the mood
for a poem that’s strange sad or silly
I get it I really do

I get that you may be tired after a long day
and your attention span’s not at its peak
it happens to me like it happens to you

I get that I should be thankful for your visits
though at times I’m perplexed
I get it I really do

I get that you want to be pleasant and cordial
though it doesn’t always come across quite right 
it happens to me like it happens to you

See, that is why we are here together, all having so much in common. I think, regardless of our moods, poetry will always be our shared love and vice at the same time. Love the read. Thank you.

I don't know. I suppose it happens occasionally. Yet I really do look forward to viewing all the poems I can five-six days a week... Even great thinkers like you and me can disagree once in a while. lol... And thank you for giving me an 'out' on those occasions when I could use one. ~ Energizer Bunny

Hello Line, Such a sad songbird sings in this, though important to me that you know. Your many gifts in write like scattered stars in the night. Some pages collected and kept near and dear. Take heart in your poetry and those that it has touched.. as so many of them do. I checked my Faves for the first time ever today.. your name owns all of page twenty-one, and most of page twenty-two. -Richard
