FYI...The Minute Poem
























  FYI

While I was in the nail salon
all was foegone
for today's curse
keeps getting worse

Gals spoke of suicide among
the very young
Preyed upon
by anyone

It happens almost anywhere
they wait in lair
to bully those
in fragile throws

    Nice minute poem on a serious theme. Names can be more harmful than sticks and stones.

    For sure, children prayed upon, the true innocents.

    Such a sad reality. Nicely penned and makes me aware of how adaptable this form is.

    This rings so true and I liked the voice you used. It fitted well, colloquial. XX

    Having a little one myself, this is a serious concern, especially with the internet now.

    A serious thing to ponder, as it is happening so frequently now, even among the old. Great poem indeed.

    ugh - it's a fragile world out there - isn't it - sometimes those convos in nail- or hair salons can be shocking for sure

    This makes me want to pray that life and kindness prevail in a world where death and meanness seem to be getting too large a foothold.

    I worried for decades about my 3 daughters--now I can worry about my 8 grandchildren. Terrific message conveyed with the prompt parameters !

    This is most unexpected of youngsters. Have they given up on life?

    I find that a salon and other places where people get to hang together is a good place to connect with humanity. The stories are raw and unfiltered.

    You have captured here a very poignant moment and expressed it very well in a few words.

    P.S. I am sorry that I could not comment earlier. I had trouble signing using my Wordpress account using my phone. I guess, Blogger does not like WP as much. :-)
