Sundays are devoted to poetry on the blog. Many people think that poetry has to be serious, long, confusing, emotional, hard to understand and difficult to decipher. It’s easy to forget that Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein were also world famous poets with their fun and silly, rhymey ditties. Today’s poem is written by the Hollywood actor, Woody Harrelson. He wrote the poem on social media, to a response to an Irish mother posting a picture of her daughter Cora, remarking on Cora’s resemblance to Woody.
Oh Woody! You’re delightful!
Those who dismiss you are just being spiteful.
I’ve enjoyed your many roles over the years.
But my favorite is when you were the bartender on Cheers.
On the show you fell for a girl who shares my name.
Listening to the song you wrote for her, I may never be the same.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
