NOTIONS

Unchecked notions tip the scale
Threatening the weights that were measured
And the tumbling loss to follow
Will be felt around the world.

About Ukraine? Putin unchecked. The world's balance hangs on his whim. I hope cancel culture works on him. Too bad we have to cancel the rest of his country to do it.

[Cherrie Palmer]

It is a shame that the world will set by and let bad men do bad things.

[William Michael Reeves]

At the moment our world is in a precarious position. On the edge of WWIII. Too scary that one wrong move can madden a madman. We have to hope cancelling Russia out of culture will cause their people to take care of the world's present problem. Interesting that scene of Putin at the table all the way at the other end. He must know common sense is trying to take him out.

[JE Falcon]

Too true, sad, and well stated.

[Cherrie Palmer]

This thread of reviews got lost. Sorry for the delay. I'm glad you reviewed this one.

[JE Falcon]

No problem, it happened to me just the other day.

[Ken Simm.]

Exactly apropos to today. And indeed most of history. Excellent notions
.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Ken. Sorry for the delay but I didn't see the notice.

When I see the word notions I almost always think of my grandmother's sewing basket:/ I always thought it was funny that they called sewing stuff "notions" the nice thing is she took her... notions and repaired things we often take our notions and ignore things:)

[Cherrie Palmer]

My grandma called it that also.

Hi Cherrie,
Short but oh so meaningful poem.
Your metaphors are amazing.

This makes me sad, to think about, life is hard enough already and there is so much going on now.

[Cherrie Palmer]

That is so true the world is marching toward heartbreak.

[Unspoken poet]

I think it has been heart breaking for a while now, it is just sad. We just have to live our life knowing that and try to be happy for what we have.

[M. J. Smith]

Aye... And nothing more can be said. Or perhaps only this may be said for the world: "Holy Mary, be with us now and at the hour of our deaths."
A few words. And they say more than all the sonnets in the world.

[Cherrie Palmer]

The pen holds power our words have power when we don't turn a blind. But when the masses refuse to care eventually the pen must be replaced by action.

[M. J. Smith]

Replaced by action... Yes, if one knew what action to take. Our votes no longer matter. Protests lead to violence and death on our own streets. I have come to fear that the time has come to give America the Last Rites. Certainly, the nation as I knew it, the nation I was proud to call home, no longer exists. I don't recognize this divided land.

[Patricia Wedel]

My heart is broken for the young and old people... babies and children... the beautiful Souls who deserve their Country in Peace and not War-torn...
There but for the Grace of God... go We ourselves. If there can be Hell on Earth... why would a Leader not choose Heaven on Earth... We should not allow anyone to destroy precious Souls. Prayers for a Miracle. Amen ...

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes I agree when the evil heart of men turn a cold heart to humanity let us stand for those in need and pray to God our Father.

[jacob erin-cilberto]
