Notes About The Poem

Offer a Poet a Bouquet of Your Words

Writing talent is not judged by gender
although the sexes may often disagree
but we should never be an offender
when reading offered lines of poetry

Lines written by the hand of a gifted poet
make us contemplate their words in awe
so leave a comment, letting them know it
overlook what you might think is a flaw

How many smiles will you offer today
for the clever writings posted by a friend
by offering a rose or a sweet word bouquet
your kind thoughts will be a hand you extend

A concession of time for reading pleasure
a glimpse within a poet's heart and soul
To those who read, please leave a measure
letting them know, "I read you and extol"
