Tinker Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Feed the Hungry They wait patiently in line to later dine, so they stand. Tuesday morning in my town means brown paper bags with canned foods and local farmer's fare, caring turns a helping hand. ~~Judi Van GorderNotes: ▼ Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes, this is a nicely worded morning poem. I can picture the scene where even in a small town there can be otherwise unseen need. And you know how I feel about short poems, Judi. I like 'em!

Tinker Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thanks Barry, the verse form is a bit restrictive in that it allows only 7 syllables per line and requires cross rhyme as well as a linking rhyme all of which create a compact poem. ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger11 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi Tink Yes, the form dictates the poem here, but it doesn't dilute the truth or impact. best Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Tony, I don't know what happened to my original response to you but I did respond. I too like short poems, I have a longer one on the same subject written years ago.

David W. Parsley Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hi Tinker, I resonate with all commentators on this string. The brevity, lack of extraneous adornment, and apparent simplicity leaves the reader with no room to breathe outside the images you select, transmits powerfully and directly to the heart and conscience. Nice, - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
