Considerations

I care I search, and always I come to find All is fair in love and war, but love is blind Who dares to besmirch another is unkind It is an insult when a person is maligned I care I search but it remains undefined how some lurch from shadows to spellbind Who sits on a perch and is often inclined to mock others? A caged parrot who's confined I care I search but I will never be aligned with racists whose hearts should be colorblind Some attend church, hoping to be enshrined but there they will find no peace of mind I care I search but nothing can make me resigned to spare the birch branch. I would spank a behind

The end was unexpected, Lin. Love is blind and leaves us open to being 'maligned.' So true. The lines about racists being colorblind was perfect. A well constructed Monorhyme. Have a lovely day, Sara

Hi Sara, I didn't expect it to end that way either, but the thought came unbidden to me, so I went with it. Thanks so much for liking my Monorhyme!

A bit of a soft ending, no pun intended, to a really well worded and meaningful poem Lin. Thanks

Ya know something, Jeff... I never know what I'll read in a comment from you, but one thing for sure is that it'll never be boring. I had to giggle at the spanking in last line, but thought, "What the hay" and left it with a titch of humor after so many chastising couplets. Thanks for a Sunday visit. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Oh, Jan, I'm still laughing at your comments while typing this. Any stick that stings would work. There may even be a poem in your comment... alliterative at that. Preaching parrot on a perch! Thanks for the laughs and comments.
