Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Murderous Asses

Blessed to have the love of such sweet souls
Here at this gathering of friends
There aren't too many sites around quite like this
Love and writing, a true blend

So many genuine friends here on The Soup
With such loving hearts so large
To trust these people with guarding my soul
I'd never had to think very hard

We as a group could show this old world
That true love is the reason for life
It's why we were created, why we were born
Cost of war is a real heavy price

They should listen to us, the poets of the world
We don't have all of the answers
But I'm sure we could surely do a better job
Than this bunch of murderous asses

Sarai Virden December 31, 2013 at 3:03 AM I agree Dear One, The thing about poets is not just that we feel deeply... But that when others shut their emotions down in an attempt not to feel life's pain, we choose rather to write about it. We tell the "whole story" Because we somehow find the beautiful even in the ugly; the joy that burns brighter after the tears. Deepest loves my friend <3 beautiful poem. Jack Ellison December 31, 2013 at 8:40 AM You are something else my dear sweet Sarai! We are unbelievably and truly connected through poetry! "we find beauty even in the ugly!" Amen! I love you dear Sarai xox

Carol Eastman December 29, 2013 at 9:11 AM Ahhh... If all the world were poets at heart! It's had an affect on Dragon! Maybe it can have an affect on others too. Dragon dreams to do things in good ways. Tho his actions fall short of hopes... He thinks we should send 'goodness poetry' to all the leaders of the World. With the music of 'What the World needs now is Love sweet Love' or send them a welcome to come to PoetrySoup... You never know! Maybe Dragon's right... or it's just another sweet, young Dragon dream. We could try it, tho! Jack Ellison December 30, 2013 at 6:56 AM Us poets guys know the secret but nobody will listen! You my dear Carol, are without a doubt, my most loyal friend here on the Soup! Sending you love to last you you the whole of 2014! xox
