The curse of a verse.

The verse had all

the time in the world

and yet ...

still may not be read

as not all verses are

played with.

For some remain virgins

never seeing the naked eye

nor the light shining

from another thought.

Read what you may.

I have nothing to sell

but wisdom said the verse.

I liked your poetry tonight Andrew. Myself, I quit talking. This world confuse me now. A young man told me today, all he wants to work is 20 hours a week. Get food stamps. I had to walk away. New world my friend. Scary. Happy New year.

Its funny John, you only get what you work for! Stay safe. 20hrs wouldn't pay for private health insurance!

I agree my friend. This generation is lazy. Will be hard world for them.

Reading this, I have visions of the many cafe poems I visit over the course of a year which have no reviews until I add mine. Once a poem gets that first review, it starts rolling down other people's newsfeeds & it will likely get a few more reviews, at least! But of course, some of us don't need to be read or responded to, to continue on as avid writers! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

lol Thank you Margie I don't know where I'd be without your timely and much appreciated visits which always leave me with a smile. :)

how much does it cost Andrew? ;))))))))))))))))))))) the wisdom that is .. i wonder how many incredible verses are out there .. hidden at the bedside and labeled "My Journal" ... or skipped over by the eyes that do cross its path ... quite a few I am sure ... the simplicity and humanity of your poem strikes me most .. and I especially like the light that thought can shine a unique perspective of its own ... i like this one a lot ... very relatable

Thank you kindly Gene for your words. At least we are not walking around in Trump's shoes! Amazing how many verses and thoughts go unanswered.

for some winning isn't enough .. President Trump is so fearsome he is now being crushed to indistinguishable pieces …a "warning to anyone who would dare defy opposition to "the Party" ;) I hope you see my tongue in my cheek dear friend.

A tumultuous end indeed Gene.
