RESPECT, KINDNESS AND CHOICE-POTD

Before you read my poem below please know:
This poem is generalised and not aimed at any individual
It is solely my observation and voice!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Why must it be analysed and dissected
To whether  a poet comments or not
We all do what we choose to do
We are a mixed bunch in this poetry pot

Some poets just like to write and read poetry
They are not interested in anything more
That is entirely their right and prerogative
That is what they are here for

Others like the social interaction
Making connections and poet friends
What you give, what you get here
On you it solely depends

Who we are …our wants and needs
Is our own personal choice
There are no set of commenting rules 
No do’s or don’ts….no dictating voice

What another poet chooses to do
Is nobody else’s concern
As long every poet is respectful
Respect will be returned

Comment or not, turn comments off, or even block
Just do what ‘YOU’ want to do
Never feel pressured to do anything less
“To thyself you must be true”

There are an abundance of poets here
Who thrive on interaction and chat
They comment, encourage, support ,connect
Poets aplenty rich in socialising are here in fact

No judgement, criticism, negativity ,nor pressure should any poet face
Just a kind, caring and respectful environment on the whole
We are all unique and special individuals
Writing and enjoying poetry…..our united goal!

LESSON LEARNT -POTD

Gullible I am

Gullible I will always be

Been burnt many a time

Lesson learnt….No Siree!


Soft hearted, trusting

Is who I am

Will I ever change

Lesson learnt…No Ma’am!

RAY OF SUNSHINE - POTD

A little ray of sunshine

Just a simple phrase

Uplifting human spirit

With warm gentle rays

LIFE IS NOT A BATTLE FIELD - POTD

Be strong in your beliefs and opinions 
Give and receive them respectfully 
Discuss , debate, disagree , 
Devoid of anger and intimidation 
Be polite and behave graciously

Don’t try and change opinions 
Or what others believe
With intimidation and insults
Just amicably disagree 

Why the desire to be hurtful
Trying to out-speak and outdo 
Using sarcasm just to be heard
Desperate for control and that final word

Stop being childish and hateful
Bullying is not a game
Spewing ugly vindictive words
Is not the way to make positive change

Insecurities play a part with bullies
Due to lack of self worth and self esteem
Feeling stronger in who they are
When humiliating and simply being mean

Strive for a better way
Strive for a more positive you
There are no wrongs or rights
Just different  points of view

Try kindness and compassion
Seek qualities in your fellow mankind
Don’t engage in belittling interactions
Igniting troubled minds

Life is not a competition 
A constant game of tit for tat
Being confrontational and critical
Is not the way decent humans act 

You have created your own personal battle field
Fuelled by antagonism and controversy
It must be so emotionally draining
Being consumed with malice and negativity

JACKPOT - POTD

They chatted for so long
The day was here to meet
She was so excited
Feeling her hearts every beat

He was Scottish and oh so lovely
She thought he may be the one
She had looked for red flags
But there had been none

Meeting place was at the pier
The wind was blowing a fearsome gale
Her beautiful brushed hair blew wild and free
The gusts were steadfast with no intention to curtail

He stood there handsomely in traditional Scottish dress
She thought her heart had stopped
A mighty gust of wind then blew his kilt up 
Thats the moment she knew…..she had hit the jackpot!!

TRUE KINDNESS - POTD

I was taught the true meaning of kindness
From the very best
That kindness comes in all shapes and forms
Has substance pure and honest

Kindness is a blessing
Both to those who give and those who receive
It comes straight from an open heart
Without conditions or deceit

SUNSHINE - MOTHER NATURES GIFT - POTD


Golden rays radiate from above
Energising the world with warmth and love

Illuminating our precious earth
Shining light on its true value and worth

Generating a healthy glow
One that thrives, breeds and grows

Flora and fauna bask in its rays
Grateful for the warmth of summer days

Brightening thoughts ,motivating minds
Creating positivity , negativity left behind

Days viewed in a more positive light
One of abundance and sheer delight

Mother Natures free gift to all on this earth 
To enjoy, respect and remember its worth!

NEGATIVES - POTD

Sometimes you need to step back
Even walk away
Good things always come to an end
So they say ….

When negatives enter your life
That do not bring you joy
Step back , distance yourself
Before your soul it destroys

Perhaps take time to revaluate
Refresh, clear your mind
For life is too short for negatives
So to yourself be kind

THE LONG GOODBYE - POTD


They sit in silence at the table
Eating their evening meal
He gently wipes the food from her face
This life they now live still feels so surreal

She now sits in her recliner chair
While he makes her a cup of tea
Emotionless and still
She stares blankly at the T.V

He closes his weary eyes and remembers
The who she used to be
Her sweetness, her laughter
And a life together fulfilled and happy

Asleep now in her chair
He reflects on where she has gone
Alone and confused in her own mind
He has missed her for so long

He helps her put on her nightie
Gets her tucked into bed
His kisses her and voices “l love you my sweet”
As he gently strokes her head

She takes his hand and  squeezes it softly 
As a lone tear rolls down her cheek
He smiles ,cuddles and reassures her
Lovingly whispers  “Oh there you are my sweet”!

HER HANDS - POTD


Her hands are what l remember most

Miss the most, crave the most

Hands that scrubbed floors for a living

Hardworking, honest hands

Hands that nurtured, gave comfort, wiped tears

Small hands fingers crooked with arthritis

Hands that held mine a lifetime

Hands l held when death decided

Hands l loved and knew so well

Her hands …..
