To My Friends

A Poem by Ray Hamilton
"

Poetry plea for understanding

Someone To Watch Over Me midi

 

 

 

 

To My Friends

 

Recently I have been told
my poetry shows I have a bad mentality
But I'm just trying to be me

 

 

I'm sorry if I have offended some
although I honestly don't know how
With me,
what you see is what you get
I write my poetry with no regrets

 

 

If I have offended you in some way
Please don't be afraid to say
Naive I very well may be
For I honestly do not see
How my poetry could offend
Any of my precious friends

 

 

I am and have never been a sneak
In my poetry my life you get a peek
If I have a bad mentality
Please tell me how this could be
Honestly I can not see
that I have a bad mentality

 

 

I stay in my own little group of friends
On their reviews I do depend
I do not see how I could offend
I always try my best to do good
Although in the past my intentions
have been misunderstood

 

 

There is no halo upon my head
of this I do know
But there are no horns either
or I would let them show
For I am just me
What you see is what you get
I say this with no regret
For I'm just trying to be myself
I have never lived my life in stealth

Poetry is about feelings, giving a piece of ones soul. If someone doesn't care for a brand of poetry, don't read it. But the most important part is to not try and sensors ones work just because you don't agree. Anyone who has done this to you deserves to be horsewhipped. Keep writing Ray. As I have said before you are a wonderful poet.

Stop crying!!!! Who is it??? I want names! You couldn't offend someone if you tried Ray.
Well maybe if you really tried...and perhaps you should?
Some here need offending...desperately!
I know this is a tongue in cheek piece, but I do sense an underlying
issue...I'm being serenaded by a great piano player "Someone to watch over me"
One of my favs.
Have a good one.
Helen :-)

Tis easy to be swept away by other people's comments. Be yourself, be true to you

You make people smile, you present your words with great flair, your poems' metre is generally fine and, it's all representative of who you are and what you think and.. and.. and.. lol

In this particular piece, anyone who comments negatively about eg. that final verse, must be looking at a half empty glass instead of a half full one!

:-)

One little thing, think you've put 'on' instead of 'no' first line, final verse.
