That Poem On Your Doorstep

Sometimes you pen beautiful poems, 
and they just get rushed by and ignored.

It reminds of leaving a stunning gift,
 in front of someone's door.

For some reason, the door never opens!
No matter how long, I languish there hoping.  
 
And my heart weeps, as I watch it, sitting 
cold and so poetically forlorn.

Why do I put myself through this?
I can just put it quietly away in a velvet lined drawer!

I know what you mean...we certainly don't write for the money and fame; in fact, often what is famous I think is not particularly good -- but what do I know? I do know, what we write on paper is also written to the spirit of humanity -- and lives on long after each individual incarnation. Maybe we just don't see the greater picture. Love, Joe and Ila.

Happy Easter Joe and Ila, I like what you said, I know that your poems are written in the spirit of humanity.Too many written for sheer vanity, prizes and to be top of the heap? I loathe writing for that reason. It is a gift to be able to write, that, in itself, should be a reward Alas, tis not!-))) Do you know why people are re-Incar!nated, I mean Buddhistickly thinking. To come back and re-do, any and all incompletions in their past Life. And you keep coming back till all is handled. There is no Buddhist heaven! In Christianity, if we lived according to his principles, we go straight to heaven. If a monster straight to hell. There is no reincarnation in Christianity. You get a new body, serve God and live in a perfect place. We will not even look like our last selves, nor will anyone else. You work in heaven for God only. He is the only leader. It's not a rest home )) I better stop. Happy Easter...love , Pangie cx

Hi Panagiota, it happens to poets everywhere, we write what we think is a good one and it just sits there. Does anyone care? I very much doubt it. Poets keep writing for out there somewhere someone may find one of your poems an answer to a prayer... Belle

Hi Panagiota, Your poetry shouldn't put in a drawer. Continue to post your amazing poems. I've come to accept folk may not like or get my poetry, and I'm okay with that. Truth be told folk like what they like. I enjoyed the read. Have a great day and a Happy Easter- Alexis

Sometimes others don't appreciate our art because they don't care for poetry. In a case like that it's best to keep it where it is appreciated. I personally love your poems. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. Praise The Lord! He Is Risen! JB

Wow! Packs a punch comment Judy))) because they don't like poetry. LOL I noticed that, too. To create new forms that are not poetry at all. Call it non poetry, they should! Thank you for expressing emotion" I love your poems". Irately see it in comments. Hope you started the ball rolling, thank you Hugs, Pangie xx

Although it says there's over 30,000 members from what ive seen there's only a few hundred tops that are actually active on the site. Remember you write for thee not they, who cares if no one opens the door. If you like what you write that's a prize in itself Tom

Come on, be realistic! I do write for me. If not for you, I would have no readers. You are a bash of support for me Tom. I can assure you, no poet likes getting no comments or one. We are all human. I have seen the worst poem's here with 75 comments. What's that all about? Hmmm?Pangie xx. Thank you, To God Be The Glory....,,happy Easter
