Acquaintances Comments

Prejudice forms when there is no acquaintance Tolerance glooms out in association Obligation a part of social contact Fish can’t survive without water Human has to swim in the society. Then how far we can avoid the acquaintances? May be until our apathy towards associate dissolve. And the writing shows the mood of humankind You and me are not exceptions But, the quicker the realization Better the prospects in life.

Acquaintances are good You start to follow your mood And hold it for few reasons For there may be a treasure that is unfold in each reason Great work David, Cate

I think I must know him! And does he sometimes look over your shoulder to see whether there is someone more important to speak to? Well rid! Well written! Fx

We could call this one 'the psychology of polite chatter' and it is oh so true! Thanks David.

this is quite great. good writing.

Hmmm... sounds like one selfish mf to me...Your well rid David. HG: -) xx

GREAT POEM! ! ! acquaintances like these are like dead wood.... only good for making a massive bonfire.... you will see the fire dancing in your own eyes, giving you more pleasure than the monotone 'hello'.

It is amazing how poets search for hours for the right word, others talk till the mind goes numb, well written poem enjoyed Chris

If only they would stop for breath and let you get a word in edgeways Or perhaps they are thinking alon the same lines. I observed two women talking neither was answering what the other said just waiting for a pause a continuing where she left off Two entirely different ' conversations' or rather two monologs which needed an audience ivor

Yes, you and Dorothy Parker. I know exactly how you feel.
