Life As a Gerbil

I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just don't have the courage, because
I guess most are afraid to fail, to loose money.
All I have to say is we can't take money with us,
when we die. I also say hasn't mankind failed enough,
and isn't mankind worth the effort, our children is worth the effort..

Thank you, and my your God Bless you

Wow. Poor gerbil. This sure makes us all feel like one while life goes on when we are gone. Love, Shar

I love the way you capture the spirit of animals in your poems, John. I just read the spider poem and enjoyed both of these very much! (Animal poems always capture my attention.) Love, Carolyn
