Emotional Concept

.

“One writes a poem

when one is so taken up

by an emotional concept

that one is unable

to remain silent.”

.

― Stephen Dobyns

feelings

a thought

from the heart

that energizes the body

emotions

Haiku:

.

ashes to ashes

the seasons recycle good

nature never wastes

Poem:

Sorry doesn’t cut it
mistakes can be avoided
thinking is not where you sit
excuses among the disappointed

Sorry has a meaning that is right
wretched, poor, useless, or pitiful
the drunken bum was a sorry sight
for many souls this status is typical

Sorry then becomes a choice
to feel regret for someones troubles
or to seek a way out of your patois
excuses  to avoid your selfish struggles

Sorry is to be used when you mean it
not spoken to cover your lies
don’t use the word as a habit
to use other words would be wise

and when all else fails
“excuse me” will usually do

.

Note: When someone tells me they are sorry,

I usually agree with them, using the right definition.

The Making

.

“Poetry is an act of peace.

Peace goes into

the making of a poet

as flour goes into

the making of bread.”

~ Pablo Neruda

Poem:

.

sitting in the city

listening to the sirens
not a native to these environs
hard to adapt to the nitty gritty
the crime, the violence, such a pity
all is lost, nothing is on the horizons

sitting in the city

listening to the sirens
the news tries to be witty
attempts to shine like diamonds
the truth as remote as far off islands
pretending that all is pretty

sitting in the city
