Notes About The Poem

Originally posted on January 18 this year, 'In All Honesty' seems more relevant now...

In All Honesty -- Repost

'In all honesty'
   is rarely honest
Just as 'Sincerely'
   is seldom sincere

Yet still I've got to tell you
   In all honesty
I sincerely wish that you were here

And in America, words are a dime a dozen, far less valuable than a dozen donuts. Words are like the holes. Thanks, Tom.

There you go. I just wrote the same thing you did, but in different words, in my reply to Caren below. Great insight, of course. ~ Modest Max

A delicate little piece that has a gentle kick; sincerely is seldom used these days.

'Sincere' and 'genuine' have, indeed, fallen 'out of favor' -- perhaps because so many people are neither today. :) gw
