To My Friends

Poetry plea for understanding

Someone To Watch Over Me midi         To My Friends   Recently I have been told my poetry shows I have a bad mentality But I'm just trying to be me     I'm sorry if I have offended some although I honestly don't know how With me, what you see is what you get I write my poetry with no regrets     If I have offended you in some way Please don't be afraid to say Naive I very well may be For I honestly do not see How my poetry could offend Any of my precious friends     I am and have never been a sneak In my poetry my life you get a peek If I have a bad mentality Please tell me how this could be Honestly I can not see that I have a bad mentality     I stay in my own little group of friends On their reviews I do depend I do not see how I could offend I always try my best to do good Although in the past my intentions have been misunderstood     There is no halo upon my head of this I do know But there are no horns either or I would let them show For I am just me What you see is what you get I say this with no regret For I'm just trying to be myself I have never lived my life in stealth     By Ray Hamilton Not a poet and I know it! © Copyright 8 / 2008 All rights Reserved   Please visit me at The Poet's Nest

You are the real deal~Mr. Ray~what we see is what we get with your words~

I don't see how your loving poetry could offend

Poetry is about feelings, giving a piece of ones soul. If someone doesn't care for a brand of poetry, don't read it. But the most important part is to not try and sensors ones work just because you don't agree. Anyone who has done this to you deserves to be horsewhipped. Keep writing Ray. As I have said before you are a wonderful poet.

Stop crying!!!! Who is it??? I want names! You couldn't offend someone if you tried Ray.
Well maybe if you really tried...and perhaps you should?
Some here need offending...desperately!
I know this is a tongue in cheek piece, but I do sense an underlying
issue...I'm being serenaded by a great piano player "Someone to watch over me"
One of my favs.
Have a good one.
Helen :-)

I have found your work to be heartfelt and a definition of the man expressed...I am not sure either of what you mention, I enjoy reading your work

[Lia]

Great piece. Thanks for sharing x

[DRIVEN]

Tis easy to be swept away by other people's comments. Be yourself, be true to you

You make people smile, you present your words with great flair, your poems' metre is generally fine and, it's all representative of who you are and what you think and.. and.. and.. lol

In this particular piece, anyone who comments negatively about eg. that final verse, must be looking at a half empty glass instead of a half full one!

:-)

One little thing, think you've put 'on' instead of 'no' first line, final verse.
