The Poet Chooses

~~Please note..,not about me~~ Speak to me only of Spring, I plead! My eyes have no use of humanity's wars nor needs. Sing to me of hot dogs on charcoal, red hot and glowing. Tell me not of hundreds dying, by bombs of rock throwing. Or of first kisses, warm and sweet, those I will read. I won't read your poetry about soldiers with forever lost feet! Sing a song of foolishness, now that is to my liking! Dare you pen poetry linked to reality~that sets my poet soul hiking' 5/25/202i

This poem is a message for us all. I take death seriously No joke to me. We can as poets, prevent evil or do nothing with our pens. A choice. You know the road we are headed down. No freedoms! When will someone pen about that? Pangie xx

The poet chooses but so does the reader if they don't like what you write just move on. As for me I'll continue to write about what I see as injustices to mankind and tell the facts as I find them and if people have suffered atrocities I'll include it in my poems. Dont go looking for romance or bunnies in my poems because you'll be disappointed lol. Tom

Hello Pangie - If you read back your entry you will see it is an entry that must be read out loud with emphasis and meaning because the thoughts of spring and first kisses are poetry and poetic. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy poetry soup.
