my daily dose of humanity

a bit of confessional poetry, not necessarily autobiographical nor an exposé

I know it’s a bit lame, but here I stay,  

Hoping for a nod, a word, some say.  

Responses to my poems, thin but kind,  

They bring a warmth, a solace to my mind.

 

In every comment, human touch I find,  

A thread that weaves me closer to mankind.  

It's not much, yet it keeps my spirit bright,  

My daily dose of human touch each night.

Hi Brick, I especially love the sub that admits "a bit of 'confessional' poetry. It's comforting to see it's a need to reach out. I like the line, "weaves me closer to mankind". Sometimes even I (me being hard headed and stubborn at times) need that thread. Thanks for this, friend,

I agree. Participating in this site leaves you better connected than a damned iPhone.

It ameliorates from texting, DM, PM, & somewhat. Thanks 🙏🏻

Nice 😇...
Your lines conveying there is human behind every user ... a connection sometimes we crave unknowingly though it looks meaningless sometimes 😅...
It rhymes fine...
