MY SNICKERSNEE

MY SNICKERSNEE

i hone my verbal
snickersnee to poke at each
racial slur i see...

i sharpen well my
snickersnee to slash and rend
the hatred humans feed...

i hone again my
snickersnee to cleanly stab
at religious intolerance...

i sharpen well my poetic
snickersnee to slice
away cultural ignorance...

i hone my verbal
snickersnee to create interesting
poems to share with thee...

jeannemarie, your snickersnee does a lot of fine, upstanding work...and it also has time to create interesting poems to share with we grateful fans of yours. Thanks so much for this and all the other great pieces you have graced us with...and many more to come. take care...dan

every poet i know has a snickersnee to use in the fight against ignorance, hate and racism...

That's because we have to live in a bigger world than the racists and the hatred and ignorant people. Their world is very non-escapable so it just rots the ruins. It is ours then just to be happy with the world we inhabit and dream from. take care...dan

I really like this, the idea of cutting down violence. Something we should all strive for in life instead of creating it. Also I love the word play in here, gives it a fun tune :)

each write you do hones your personal snickersnee...

...And what a fine job you do, wielding your weapon of choice: words!!...I love this, Jeannemarie, and wish we could all overcome these issues with our words...a fabulous write...

Where can I get one of those? They sound very useful indeed. I honestly look around at some of the things we do and say to each other, with a perplexed "Really, are we still doing that?" look on my face. When you need it, you will find that a helping hand has no colour, religion or culture.
Very well written Jeannemarie, with just the right amount of humour for that added twist :-)

haha,, i don't know what that is,, but I do know a poem that is clever, witty, and poignant. This is the point of Art (capital A intended) i.e. to challenge, to make people think, this one does both very well!! Great Job!!

a snickersnee is a personal blade although not a common term...chuckle chuckle
