Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Virtuous Trait of Morality

I place a great deal of importance on morality
and never will I perceive it as a mere triviality
It is a fine quality I seek when choosing a friend
A virtuous trait, one should never condescend

Those relishing debauchery, I consider unsavory
Surrendering their honor will surely lead to slavery
A bondage that breaks the ethical code of respect
Their sense of morality is in a state of gross neglect

John Watt January 13, 2021 at 10:32 AM Jenna, I love what you say about respect and not condescending others. To me, morality boils down to how we treat others and respect their rights. You have stated this well with your exceptional poetic voice. Congrats for your deserving first place win. ~ John

Lindsay Laurie January 5, 2021 at 3:29 PM Hello Jenna … once morals disintegrate society eventually crumbles - well done Jenna - Lindsay Jenna Logan January 10, 2021 at 3:50 AM Hi, Lindsay. You're correct, and thank you for your insight.

Justin Bordner January 4, 2021 at 5:23 PM What makes this poem neat to me Jenna, is that it unequivocally communicates the precept that, only we can truly enslave ourselves...no one else is responsible for our own self imposed slavery...J.A.B. Jenna Logan January 4, 2021 at 5:35 PM Thanks, Justin. You're correct. We are the only one responsible for our shortcomings as well as for our decency.

Jan Allison January 4, 2021 at 5:22 PM well said Jenna, the morals of some could be written on toilet paper and flushed away down the pan. well said Jenna, good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx Jenna Logan January 4, 2021 at 5:34 PM Thanks, Jan. Those who have no decent morals are not worth the TP. Change is possible.
