chop wood

us complainers

did anyone ever notice
how sad our poems are
maybe we are just complainers
better to go out in the yard
and chop some wood
that might do us some good
i have in me deep hurt
it won't go away
it doesn't matter
how much wood I chop today

I think we live in sad times. When you look around and see what's been happening, there isn't much good news is there Jeff? Mind you, your solution to deal with the blues is excellent. Get outside in the natural environment and better still get some exercise. That can lift the spirits. When you have deep hurt in you, it takes time to heal. We all have our crosses. There you go Jeff on a dull grey morning I have typed at you and wish you well.

Misery, sadness makes for far better poetry than happiness and joy ever will. I'll come chop wood with you :)

happy joyful people are too busy to write stoopid poems.....yay for them....I am not jealous.... I at one time was like that....have a great day.....stars and flowers atcha✨💐

There is a lot of truth in your words Jeff. And I should know considering a lot of my content deals with much sadness in their themes. Haha. But I also have to admit I'm a glutton for punishment because I love sad artful writing. Nothing reflects our truer selves then our pain and sorrow. They are so relatable to one another that we often find ourselves moved by reading them. Also, I have so much chopped wood I could build a tower to the end of our universe my friend haha. Thank you for this thought provoking piece.

We write sad poems because we have things to say about sad events. And because most of us don't have fireplaces. What would we do with all the wood?
