Free Hug Poem by Richard Wlodarski

This is excellent! This crosses and touches so many audiences....a children's poem. A love poem. Poetry for and about friendship and warmth. Really well done, Richard.

Accidents if taken in literal sense are events that occur suddenly beyond our control, beyond our knowledge.The suddenness is its characteristic.It may put one in situations to meet strangers and require help.We may hesitate to seek help from strangers out of doubt or suspicion.The stranger too pauses before offering help as his good intention may be misunderstood. A wonderful poem, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful read! the rhythm and the rhyme convey the humor which is sublime. there are so many things going on in this which make it worthwhile, what I like is that you don't limit yourself to some paramour but the whole of humanity, either in need or just because its a nice deed, this spoils the cynic in me and the believer in beautiful people like you. Thanks for this poem, you hugged me without knowing it!

Literary license provided me the opportunity to use a composite of real life and fictional encounters ending in this one. Its intention was to have the reader ask the questions that you're posing. Without giving the answers.

so many topics! more topics than you have words in at least one whole poem i read! so..............was the hug an accident/inadvertent? OR planned and done in hopes of finding romance? ? human and animal? i usually think of humans as just another animal species, which it is. could the you in the poem be a dog? i don't think so. thanks for some rhymes. i almost always rhyme every couplet (is couplet the right word? !) , but i am glad when other poets do not 'force' rhymes. i think striving 'TOO HARD' for rhymes can hurt a poem; the meaning can suffer. bri ;)

Wonderful poem, it's heart warming and written with a great sense of sencerity :)
