Need we say (never)more?
Rhyming word on things unheard
It isn’t our nature
to notice a need.
Like newbies to
kindliness, we oft misread
The words yet
unspoken and troubles untold.
We seal up our
suitcases, go for the gold.
Still, nobody nurses malevolent
grudge
Like one shoved aside
with a negligent nudge.
Our catchword is kindness.
We aim to be nice
And never run out of
extensive advice.
Perhaps with the
mirror we should have conferred.
When somebody needs
us, let’s toss not the bird.
c2016 by Linda Ann Nickerson
“On the morrow he will leave me, as
my hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore.”
Then the bird said, "Nevermore.”
(Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven)
