A Poetry Wave



Don’t know about you, but I’ve been saddened by the trend of negativity I’ve seen (and I’m rarely on social media anymore—so we’re talking about the spurts of news I see and the human behavior I’ve observed).


Here’s an example: I was in a small local grocery store just waiting in line to check out, and a lady started complaining loudly about the direction the line was going—and mind you, it was the exact same direction as all the other lines in the checkout area. Finally, I guess she got to her point, which was that people wanted to get through the line to shop on the other side of the line. As nicely as I could, I stated that if she had simply asked to go through, we would have happily obliged, and then did just that. After that, she muttered incoherently on through and down towards the next aisle.


In the end, I chalked it up to her having a bad day, but it made me think about how negativity can spread. What if we can spread positivity instead? Like when you’re at a game and someone starts the wave and it spreads to others as it moves through the stadium.


Let’s start a poetry wave of positive vibes. Let’s send out kindness in our thoughts, actions, and poetry.


Are you with me?

Comments on last month's newsletter:


From: G. B. Williams Author Icon
Comment: Thanks for reminding me to be careful and never plagiarize. I believe I write from the heart and emotions, but some of it may be initiated by things I've read and do not remember in the conscious but lives in the subconscious.


From: Monty Author Icon
Comment: Socrates was off the mark in my opinion. I think at times you read something you really like and the words keep swirling in your head. Careful, you might use them.


From: H Nicole Author Icon
Comment: Understand :)


Thank you all for sharing! I really appreciate your input *Delight*
