Miss Communication

There once was, a Miss. Communication With pleasure she loved to communicate Writing of love and the wonders of life Her passion extreme and never sedate Those afraid, of Miss. Communication For she expressed herself with all her might They banded together, to make their point Miss Took, Mr. E and yes Mr. Right Sadly the Kingdom, fell into darkness For not a single note flowed from her throne The sound of her music, could not be heard Miss Communication sad and alone So the town people, gathered together Including, one who was Miss. Understood We looked to her, in hopes of an answer As she strummed on her harp made out of wood Miss. Communication, rose to the call For in the end she knew they were all friends Because with passion, sometimes lines are crossed Miss. Communication, never pretends She felt real joy and her pen regained strength Entering again, into the land of dreams For within, our miscommunications. It's true, nothing is ever as it seems! Events of the last few days have left me feeling sad. Things said that have left people I care about hurt. Misunderstood people on different sides that are really in the end not so different from each other. Reconciliation comes from listening, in the end each of us is looking for a place to belong and be appreciated. Let us choose to act with gentle hearts and kind words. Being loving is a greater cause than being right.

I love the way you made the feelings into people. It is hard to watch those we care for hurting.

I think when you speak as you have, that it always has an affect, sometimes the message needs to be repeated, has to sink in over time, so sometimes we dont see direct results. It is never a waste to plant the seed of kindness!! :)

This was just majestically written, Richard... a truly enjoyable and inspiring poem. I am glad the town people did something about it to help. Coming together through hard times is vital, as well as being a good listener to the passionate people that are hurt and need to express themselves. Always, Laura

I dated a Miss Communication once, boy could she talk and talk and talk!!! Ok now for the serious part, this only shows what a kind heart you have, and I hope no matter who you are are, me included, you think of this poem anytime you wish to rush to judgement, I will add, "Being loved is better than being right" And when one knows that, isn't being loved what we all truly desire?

An interesting story, Richard. Lessons to be learned here, with plenty to spare. I guess Freedom of Speech is not that free after all. We've learned the Great Power of Words. With Great Power comes Great Responsibility. Now, who said that...:))) Nevertheless, it's true. Henceforth, we should all be vigilant of what comes out of our mouth...and pens, being poets, for that matter. Wishing you, and all of us, an environment where the talent can flourish and be nurtured. 7 Hugs and smiles!:) Kim

No one needs to be hurt by unkind and careless words We inherit our relatives but we carefully choose our friends. They are therefore doubly precious. Good for you to be standing up for the hurt in this world Love Mom
