Too Sweet
You are too nice
too sweet & too
understanding
too sensitive
why don't you
suck it up lady
get a bit harder
why may i ask
Life is complex
and the world is
a broken place
yet, i refuse to
be cold & bitter
choose to love
and i do believe
this planet needs
empathic beings
respect & grace
peace & patience
and that, my poets
starts with ourselves

Hoi hoi
You really do tight writes, dear D., and I love them to bits.
My favourite bit = from the first to the last letter.
But my aller meest favorit:
yet, i refuse to
be cold & bitter
choose to love
One of the best poets of our time from England always said:
Talent?
Bring talent if you want to.
But what we need is empathy.
And I very much believe he’s right.
And you bring it.
Lovely!
Kind regards, Gus

Dear D,
As I’m a little late to this party my esteemed poets above have chosen all the good words and sentiments for this poem. I so enjoyed the conviction to be an uplifting and positive force in this world. It’s so desperately needed. This is the behavior we need to emulate. Lovely write. H🌷
