Aching Nights and Hopelessly Sad Morn

Aching Nights And Hopelessly Sad Morn Aching nights and hopelessly sad morn my life torn, ripped and nailed; each day dark hours sliced and dice, misery applauding as I failed not once nor even twice but thrice! Each day, worries eat into this fate watered soup- soul needs more; so lost, lost as three blind mice, this aching heart dares score as if my deep pain does not suffice! Dare I question my dark lot in life In ashes pray a blessing sweet; nay, such a supplication reflects, forlorn spirit admits defeat epic moaning that never connects! Tomorrow hints at miracles to come fine ship, vast oceans to sail; winds blowing, waters calm and blue, relief given from a dark hell a destined pilgrimage seeking you! Robert J. Lindley , 10-03-2015 Note--" Thrice" | Define Thrice at Dictionary.com three times, as in succession; on three occasions or in three ways. 2. in threefold quantity or degree. 3. very; extremely. Origin of thrice. Expand. Middle English

GREAT writing, Robert, with a very classic feel to it! I would not say grammar was your foe. You handle it rather nicely! And I should hope most people would understand thrice! it's a cool word. too bad we can't say fithe for four times!

Oh and Thrice? I thought the meaning was " One whom takes three servings of rice at Chinese buffet" LOL

Hi Robert, another classic, well done, I like how the last verse, hints at things turning around, and then again, maybe not! Fantastic! I was going to rate this a "thrice" in fun, but we all know its A7!!!
