Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Please Stop

My poetry's boring
My readers are snoring
My scribbling is all about war

My brains are all fuzzled
My thoughts are all muddled
I've never felt this way before

My mind has one focus,
Too much hocus focus
Causing anxiety galore.

There's no denying
I'm constantly sighing,
Please stop. We can't take any more.

Elizabeth Mccann July 31, 2022 at 6:00 PM Excellent, Shirley. It would be great if we could find a marker for future terrifying rulers. So much damage, so much suffering for the glory of so few. Elizabeth Shirley Hawkins August 3, 2022 at 4:05 PM Thank you, Elizabeth, for your encouraging comment, I could not agree with you more. Take care, Shirley

Gershon Wolf July 30, 2022 at 10:04 PM Well, you're right! Now that you've identified the problem, what's the solution? Perhaps a little less attention to the daily news stream, and a lot more time spent by the brook and the stream! ~ 'Dr. G' (lol). Shirley Hawkins July 30, 2022 at 10:58 PM Thank you, Dr. G for the wise diagnosis. I think the cure may be hypnosis. I like your idea of walking by a stream. I can do this if I am hypnotised cos I'd be in a dream (lol) Take care, Shirley

Rico Leffanta July 26, 2022 at 7:03 PM The USA military budget is greater than Russia's, China's, and North Korea's combined becauise there is money to be made from waging wars. Eat some ice cream and be happy you are not in it! Aloha! Shirley Hawkins July 26, 2022 at 7:55 PM Self preservation. Acceptance of what is, not what we would like it to be. I see from your comment, Rico, that money plays a big part in starting wars. Whoever wrote money is the root of all evil, got that right!
