The Poet's Language of Love

will some words of affirmation
                                      twinkle your morning star

                                 maybe you need some comments
                                    just to know the poet you are

                                  could some simple acts of service
                                    bring you what is needed most

                                  why don’t some people comment
                                   on the poems we choose to post

                                       maybe you’re not a writer
                                instead you choose to read each line

                                    you could possibly love to write
                        but skip the comment cause you’re almost blind

                                     we need some understanding
                                 a little more patience to go around

                                if we could simply learn the language
                         then maybe we could find some common ground

For myself, I am a person that cannot read between the lines so, it is hard to comment. PS ,I am not sure if you know that the Nursery Rhyme book is out on Amazon. Soup mail. Hugs Eve

Here’s a comment! We all hope to see a few or many. When we realize we are ALL poets then we realize we must read others.

wise words indeed Mark something we could all learn from, tolerance and understanding is the key ... and as i said in a recent poem NO ONE knows what is going on in our lives and if we have time to comment fine, if we dont no one should be made to feel bad about it:-) write on my friend you have been missed recently and I'm SO delighted you got Poem of the week:-) hugs Jan xx
