Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

International Poets

We have disorientation among the high elite.
Could it be that Karma now rests upon their feet?
We are international poets, all gathered here as one.
A language foreign to you, may not be foreign to some.

The translation is simple, just open your eyes and look.
All poems are not in English, there is more than just one book.
Who are we to think, we’ve risen above the rest?
Arrogance will tell you; your language is the best.

It’s time to open our minds and let go of the want.
Humility is the way, I’m sorry to be so blunt.
Poetry is a language that very few will share.
Love your poetry neighbors and show them that you care.

Paula Goldsmith March 8, 2021 at 7:12 AM Poetry makes the world go round, makes someone laugh, makes the writer's creative come out. Poetry is part of life. Poems and poets should be respected. The old saying, "say something nice/kind or say nothing at all." Have a blessed day/week..................... Mark Koplin March 8, 2021 at 9:22 AM I agree wholeheartedly! Have a great dayPaula!

Jan Allison March 6, 2021 at 12:43 PM No matter how a poem is presented on soup we all speak the same language - the language of words and with a translation on google i was able to thoroughly enjoy the Portuguese potd:-) write on Mark!:-) hugs Jan xx Mark Koplin March 6, 2021 at 4:34 PM I know right! I have no problem with any poetry unless it spews hate. The potd today had a nice positive message in any language.

L Milton Hankins March 6, 2021 at 10:15 AM Mark, you are absolutely on target here. I enjoyed your poem, but more so the message so well-presented. I'm trying to appreciate more the poetry of my brothers and sisters from faraway lands. Good work! Mark Koplin March 6, 2021 at 12:01 PM Thank you Milton, I appreciate you taking the time to read. Some people get so caught up in spelling, punctuation and proper form that they lose the grasp of what poetry is and can be.

Regina Mcintosh March 6, 2021 at 7:55 AM Poetry speaks to all... it's a caress to the spirit, a kiss breathed across the heart, a gentle tear, a touch, a whisper, a silent thought... Joy, hope and love that grows more alive every day... Poetry doesn't care about the language - it raises up hearts all over the world. Love this - Many prayers and blessings, Love, Gina Mark Koplin March 6, 2021 at 11:58 AM I'm glad to see that some get this. You have a gentle heart Gina and I can tell by your words that you are a very loving person. I speak from the heart when I say thank you and God bless you and your day!

Alexis Y. March 6, 2021 at 6:43 AM Hi Mark, Poetry is universal, its language known all over the world. Great message. Have a fantastic day:-) Alexis Mark Koplin March 6, 2021 at 7:48 AM Hello Alexis, I'm glad to see you on my stoop. Thank you so much for your kind comment, I agree with you completely. Have a wonderful day my friend!

Kim Rodrigues March 6, 2021 at 6:34 AM I agree Mark! I write and read many! We are ALL poets here. I enjoyed your poem! Mark Koplin March 6, 2021 at 7:47 AM Thanks Kim! It's sad that there a select few that think they are better than the rest of us. Ego will always play a factor I guess even in poetry. Have a good day my friend, I appreciate your time Kim.
