Image: Clasping More than just Holding (here)
What it might create is something
That goes through varied human feelings
A sign of warmness open to loving
Ever welcoming prior to snuggling
It may not be that intimate generally
As long as it leaves everyone happy
Often coupled with loads of kindness
Extended with care and much finesse
Blind to social position or anxiety of color
Young and old both make it most popular
Whatever the make-up is not such a bother
Poems conform to a varied thinking endeavor

Nice line and goal worth achieving: "As long as it leaves everyone happy"
ReplyDeleteHappiness is a fine goal--even if the happiness is for the skill of a very sad subject. Thank you for the insightful comment you left on my poem.
ReplyDeleteI love this happiness and unity poem. So nicely done Hank...
ReplyDeleteWords Hank wonderfully expressed. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Such a warm and compassionate piece
ReplyDeleteHappy together or a lone however one sees fit.
ReplyDeleteAnd even just a handshake says so much.
ReplyDeleteAh yes.....Hand holding takes two. Hand wringing, with an entirely different feeling/mood/emotion, takes only one.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this post!
I've alway been a hand holder & hugger, although some people do not like having their space invaded.
ReplyDelete"Blind to social position or anxiety of color"...nice, the way it should be.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful invocation of the spirit of National Hand Holding day!
ReplyDeleteLove this.. I think we need a bit of closeness everyone... (as long as it's not uninvited)
