Kristina Whitmore Poet Free verse

Thankful None

No thing is as it was to be thankful for, thankful none
To be that unthankful for the life we see
Seen or sought all store bought 
Collecting venture every type
Fashion sensible inseams 
Thankful for, thankful none who are giving
Paying back and paying front
Never paying forward to some
Ungrateful are the price tags that limit
A new arrival in style that fits best
Unthankful for, body image 
Thankful for, thankful none 
Who show off more than most have
In a world where care is rare to be found
Cold stares from every where unthankful for nights out
Inspections are as they go when value is through sight
Unthankful when the judgement is passed
As a cover of a book in dim light
Never reading past the surface to find thanks to give
Appreciation at a low without recognition
A simple thanks to goodbye, hello
I love you, you are forgiven
Thankful none those unthankful ones
Just a waste of time
Priceless is the value of freely being kind
Unthankful not for those thankful none who do not see quite yet
To be thankful for the preciousness of goodness that should be spread

You are God blessed w/spiritual eyes that see beyond the grey veil. As so elegantly expressed by you ... to be thankful for the preciousness of goodness that should be spread. Seems I gotta get a little bit Whitmore of this hot soup poetry every day. Gold star poetry, sista. Love and peace forever.

Richard Evans November 23, 2017 at 8:24 PM Really dig this Kris. The words in this poem have an interesting cadence both in rhythm and meaning. That rhythm made me go back and read it again. Proud to be the first. Kristina Whitmore November 23, 2017 at 10:49 PM :-) Thank you Richard for commenting on having to re-read due to the rhythm. Super stoked you dug it since I wrote it off the top of my emotions then. Have not written in a few days and just posted a new write. Hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
