Oh, Say Can You See

Oh, say can you see.
Beyond those years and yesterdays gone.
To leave them behind.
As they ought to be.

Carrying on your back,
Packed stacked with worries.
Proves nothing more to anyone.
Who has faced their own problems.
Refusing to...

Persuaded To Sway

No longer is it unbelievable,
How limited in consciousness...
People fictioned can easily dismiss,
The truth and its reality.
When the evidence produced,
They refuse to exist.
To choose and pick to represent,
The best of their interests.

Native Americans

As effective their direct,
Throwing of B.S. is.
To land as planned,
In the faces of others.
Seeking shelter and opportunities.
Hoping to receive,
From their own home land.

For whatever the reason,
Stirring winds begin to appear.

Less Impressive

Although creative their innovations,
In comparison to others.
Given interviews and high ratings received.

U-Turn

Even if,
To admit something wrong.
Takes stopping to think,
A good excuse made.
For making a mistake.

With this done to believe,
An apology expressed.
By someone expected to accept it.
When told over and...

Chris? 'Wrapped Up In You'...is brilliantly written. From beginning to end. Yes! Within your expression so much you allow to confess just how you feel. After MANY years of my own poetic writings, I am only recently unpeeling to reveal what it is deeply felt. Easy I've become to realize isn't easy. Thank you. L

Mr. Chris E. Morganroth IV? You, sir, are a tremendous artist. Your approach reminds me of Poe. Heartfelt. Deep in expression. Yet, available to the reader. That to do, is an accomplishment. Basic in delivery. Yet touches emotions few poets are unable to commit the doing of it. Congratulations! L

Hi, Edwin...your comments remind me of what I use to experience on another poetry website. Now, today? I make sure what I write is done. Then close out my submission to Poetry.com. I've also changed my password a few times as well.
