Poem Commentary

Some people knit, some people golf, some garden, and some people write. Why can't I just enjoy my only outlet. This is my, "Me Time".

Breathing Space




Most times my only get away is to sit in solace and write the happenings that transpired during a chaotic day.

I may have little to say, or I might write a play-by-play.

It takes me to a quiet place, I have a sense of peace I love to embrace. At times it has been my Saving Grace.

It appears you enjoy interrupting what I like to call, "my Breathing Space." I shows all over your face.

Muttering words of mockery knowing just how much it would get to me.

My spirit breaks and my heart aches. Putting me down is all it takes.

You tell me I'm wasting my time, who wants to hear me whine. I'll never get a dime.

Why can't you understand,
my pen in hand is my only peace of mind.

Well written and true as hell. Misery loves company and it hates to see peace perhaps. Or maybe they hate what they can't do when they see you doing it. This piece echos one of the main things I hate. Enjoyed the read.

It's so good to see that you're writing and posting them up for all to read once more. Whining though some may label such art, if indeed such a label is accurate, then whine away...but honestly, what hopeless fool could denigrate such near perfection and call it "whining"?

Hey Thanks! Some people just don't get it. Your comment was encouraging. Hope all is well.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
