Notes About The Poem

Lost Poets

Lungs that burst
life that escaped
when poor souls rant and ranted more
instead of reciting poetic verse

I pray one day
they find a way
to re-discover kindness I say
sadly, this dream, will never be

Hens and co?cks, birds of a feather
singing on the rudeness tree

So sorry that people like that feel the need to antagonize a poetry site... very clever poem, though. Thanks for being one of the 'voices of reason'! ;)

checked 'kindness' in the thesaurus andt there are dozens of alternate meanings, many 'color's for the raven's 'nevermore'

Sometimes I realize I pay too little attention to the "rants" friends tell me happen on the Soup. Then all of a sudden, a friend is gone from the site. I appreciate your call for civility, Arthur, and hope the message is received by the right people. It would be great if we all liked each other, but at the very least, let's treat each other with respect. Bravo, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn

I raise a voice of prayer along with you, Arthur, for every human soul.. let alone poets to "rediscover kindness"! A wonderful write unfolding Love and Light of a poet! My deepest regards. Be blessed always.
