Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Narcissistic Conversationalist

After the little storm last night
The birds' song seems chipper  
As the sun changes cobalt clouds
To rose, roosters' songs quicker

As porch ceiling fan hums steadily
And poet struggles out
Words, the muse is stifled trapped within
Unwanted emotions 'bout

The audience reads penned thoughts
At least some days they do
Maybe they just glance, write a note
As they pass swiftly through

Do they ever think, maybe ponder?
Over each small word penned
Or is it a means to an end
Somehow a gold star pinned 

At least it is not outright rudeness
Each poet acknowledges
The verse in unique and kind ways
Not his wife admonishes

When a few words she tries to say
Will the wrong be righted
Can forgiveness take ahold
And love again ignited

This is not about soupers not commenting. My work is always commented on in unique and encouraging comments. Thanks soupers.

Valsa George July 9, 2022 at 8:39 PM We write poems sometimes after much struggle. As long as we derive some joy on looking at our creation, don't bother about others' comments. They may not be commenting due to reasons varied like lack of time, laziness etc. Sometimes when we spot a great poet or a poem accidentally, we regret that we didnn't read them earlier. Enjoyed your open thoughts, Sara Sara Kendrick July 10, 2022 at 2:35 AM Valsa, Most of the time it is a struggle for me to write unless I just let go and enjoy a few minutes out on the porch which I would like to do this morning. It is nice to find a very gifted person on soup, but for some reason most of them disappear over time. Strange. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Michael Tor July 1, 2022 at 2:33 AM Sara i love how you wrote this. I wrote a poem called Poems that go Unnoticed, that when I read your poem it reminded me of that poem I wrote years ago. I like yours better though. Sara Kendrick July 1, 2022 at 3:38 AM Michael, I will look your poem up. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Gary Radice June 30, 2022 at 7:30 AM I thought it was about time I dropped in on a Sara Kendrick poem and chose this because the title intrigued me. I'll admit that until I read it through I thought that your poem was about Soupers commenting (or not as the case may be). I'm sure many Soupers at various points in their time here have thought very similar thoughts - we are all human. I then read the comments that reference writer's block and totally understand that feeling..But I also detect that your words may be more personal than that: perhaps reflecting a current struggle and / or a past experience? Sometimes I read too much into things. :) Either way, an intriguing piece Sara. I enjoyed the read. Cheers - Gary Sara Kendrick June 30, 2022 at 12:19 PM Gary, Yes, right on many levels. Your comment has added so much to this work. I appreciate the time spent here reading and commenting. Sara

David Mchattie June 28, 2022 at 4:58 PM We all struggle... sometimes for a short time and sometimes for a long time. But the journey is worth it. Wonderful piece my friend. Truly thoughtful. Sara Kendrick June 29, 2022 at 3:36 AM Thank you, David. I appreciate the kind review of my work. Life sometimes feeds us material about which we can write and sometimes nothing seems to surface. Sara

Eve Roper June 27, 2022 at 8:55 PM We write how we feel or what we see throughout the day, and yes, we are bypassed. I know I do it. My brain tends to forget to do what I need to do. Then forced and asked to come then I do. I can be called laziness. Great write my friend. Blessings Sara Kendrick June 28, 2022 at 3:32 AM Eve, Thank you for your understanding comments on my work. I appreciate the time spent here and on other poems I have written. Sara

Sotto Poet June 26, 2022 at 7:49 AM Well-crafted poetry, Sara; the use of rhyme and the subject matter add depth to the piece. The visuals, thoughts on writing, and wonderful lyrical tones all contributed to its attraction to me. Blessings Sara Kendrick June 26, 2022 at 12:10 PM Thank you, Sotto. I appreciate the review of my work this Sunday. Sara

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri June 26, 2022 at 12:13 AM I liked the imagery here and the muse about writing and it is lovely poetic remarks.

Victor Buhagiar June 25, 2022 at 11:18 PM You are lucky. but many do not respond. Sara Kendrick June 26, 2022 at 2:29 AM Victor, Some days I comment on a large number of poems and do not even get a comment. Some days I don't comment on a poem and get several comments. My hands are hurting me so much these days that I have slowed down my time at the computer. Thanks for your visit. Sara
