John Anderson Poet Grook

Listen to poem:

Writers Ache To See and Be Seen

Poets like social butterflies,
    try to get out, to see and be seen
To hear and recite
To post and 'got mail' replies
But word-smithing is a soul alone
    depositing to a vast agglomeration
    always on the stove, brooding and bubbling away.

Jan Allison July 31, 2017 at 4:35 PM you hit the nail on the head John but sadly I see an apathy on the site and reads and comments are hard to come by unless like me you post an 'adieu' poem and end up getting POTD I am sure some are sad it wasn't true but they won't get rid of me that easily :-( hugs jan xx
