906 - Appreciation


Poet’s United Mid-Week Motif : Appreciation


Appreciation
Knowing someone likes your work
Makes it all worthwhile.


Appreciation
Wine, cheese, chips and a good steak,
But mostly the wine.


Appreciation
Coveting your neighbour’s wife—
You can look, not touch.


Appreciation
A detached view of the world,
Loving what you see.


Appreciation
Loving the things that you have
Leads to contentment.

  5. Love the last one! It gives vent to what is missed by everybody! Treasure what one has and appreciate their goodness instead of whining for other things!

  8. I like stanza 2. Love the opportunity to appreciate cheese & wine, though I might pass on the steak. (smiles)
