Where the u goes
our eyes can show kindness and understanding
or hatred and even unawareness as we keep then tightly shut
our mouths can have a welcoming smile
or spew hatred and sometimes holdback which can hurt as much as the hatred
our hands can lend a helping hand when needed
or a hard blow to knock someone down
our ears can listen to what others are saying and read between the lines
or only hear what we want to hear and ignore the rest
our feet can lead us to help those in need
or let us run away as far as we want to get
with all the “ours” and ‘ors” the difference is where “u” go

This is a delightful playful yet deadly serious poem. I love the sentiment and the word play – and it fits so well with the poem I posted today which tells us everything we need to know about surviving as poets in these times.
Yes this poem is both playful and serious! Love the last line.
