A wonderful poem I enjoyed this exceptionally '
When all of this is over
And we arrive at its end
I'll remember...vaguely,
I once called you, "friend" ...'
I know just what you mean and can totally resonated with it. Kindest regards Meia xx

I'm sure if we really thought about it we could find a reason to hate every single person we meet. The challenging part, and maybe the most important part, is finding a way to love them through whatever imperfections we may find. I work retail and I could find many reason to hate certain people, people are jerks, but you just gotta breathe. Great job.

I like this. The message, the content, the rhyme scheme. The message is timeless and should be embraced. I hope it's not to late for the eyes of the masses to be opened. It is thought provoking and very well done.

Different rhyme patterns here, but equally, if not more, effective.
Apart from the strong subject matter, you give us depth and purpose with a certain emphasis in the various places of importance. Bravo.
Hope this does well for you.
Have a great day.

    Hello!
    Thank you for your keen eye = intended. I wrote this offering as if I were speaking to the individuals intended. Given the climate of the times, I attempted to make the words ebb and flow while maintaining balance. It was a challenge.
    Thank you for your kind thoughtful review!

I agree with your sentiments and appreciate the confident rhyme in this poem. I did find it a bit "disjointed" in terms of my "mind's ear" -- as I read it, my mind's voice stumbled in places because of the extra syllables in some lines and the changes in cadence/pacing between the verses. Well done from a storyline and rhyme point-of-view.

Hi Mrs KT, this is a really well written poem in good mixed rhyme. As I read through this poem I assumed you were talking about the state of society in general and making political statements. It certainly suited that scenario. But you revealed the person for whom it was meant. Someone who was once a friend - Wow! You certainly made a point. Well done and warm regards Dorothy x

Good rhyming. It says a lot about how you feel. But if something is bothering another person, and it is something they can't help or are being injured, we can't turn our heads. But sometimes we need a little break. :)
