Tell It Like It Is

Tell It Like It Is 

Strong member it if you can for that is what counts 
spend some quiet time in reading it shall surmount 
Give it balance.  A good site is made up of work n' play 
if not, all your good intentions may turn to hay...

Write the poems you want  
Read the ones you like  
Invite conversation 
Tell it like it is, but be kind and do it with tact  
Elect to keep silent, and don't partake in gossip 

Read in the early morning or late evening 
Enjoy a few poems, its other people's labor  
And be kind everyone fights a battle 
Don't give in to resentment its a lonely road 

Strong member it if you want to belong to a site 
and remember not everything is in black and white 
Don't believe everything you hear psst, draw near 
I want to tell you a secret, "writing is not my career "

It is my passion...
