Jude Herrick Poet Rhyme

The Right Attitude

   Attitude is a curious and powerful thing.

It is the mode and scope of intent of being.

It can be sour and spiteful, 
like a Karen that hate's Men,
or a Karen that is a sweetheart,
one that filters others in.
Empathy is a great attitude,
not a platitude but a familiac-gratitude.
These are building blocks that hold Saintly 
powers-that which are
a part of the Light.
The Light holds true power and when it claims 
you and you it, 
it doesn't lie.

Ink Empress March 15, 2024 at 12:23 AM Dear jude what a brilliant write. You definitely seem to be well aware of these personality types and karens hah. Your ability to write on so many various themes and topics makes you a very versatile poet. I especially loved the lines about empathy, as an empath, i must say so many confuse empathy with sympathy. But it doesnt work like that and also being an empath isnt always easy. It can get overwhelming. One must learn to balance everything. I agree attitude is everything, brilliant write Jude Herrick March 15, 2024 at 6:43 PM Thank you, Ink Empress.

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 14, 2024 at 3:22 PM Hello Jude, okay you brilliantly capture the essence of attitude as a potent force shaping our interactions and perceptions. Your analogy of attitude likened to the Karen stereotype adds a contemporary relevance, while your portrayal of empathy as a saintly power is deeply felt. I loved how your words illuminate the transformative potential of adopting a positive attitude rooted in empathy and gratitude. What an insightful and thought-provoking piece. - Blessings, Daniel Jude Herrick March 15, 2024 at 6:42 PM Thank you, Daniel.
