Cliche'D To Death-A Collaboration With Danny Turner

I'm so tired of hearing that old cliche' ~ "It's water under the bridge," let it go. Those words are never the right thing to say when I'm already feeling kinda low What if water under the bridge dries up and can't carry my mistakes out to sea? To forgiveness should I raise a full cup? What cliche will I hear to comfort me? "To err is human, to forgive, Divine" Yet another cliche' in stark contrast Self forgiveness often takes much more time Only changing the future, not the past Burning bridges is like playing with fire All too often it leads to getting burned Wisdom is the greatest pacifier Cliche's are the lessons others have learned Written with Daniel Turner ~ Hands shaken in friendship

A lovely collaboration delivered with a sprinkling of serious-wit. Hearing the same cliches can become monotonous, but there's no denying that some do really serve a good purpose! Well done Jenna & Danny. ~ Regards // paul

Hi Paul and thank you. There are some that really do come in handy. Tried and true that will never lose their meaning. It's good to see you. I've not been here a lot lately, but it's still home base.

Love your collaboration with Daniel Jenna. This is a quote I once wrote - “Good friends would try to move heaven and earth whenever one’s in need or feeling hurt.” ~ Belle

Yes, Deb. It's only a waste of emotion. When we empty our hearts of all that baggage, we'll live a happier life. Thanks!

Thank you very much, Tom. Sometimes you just wake and realize you're an adult who shouldn't be playing childish games.

Hi Tania. It's long past time all the ridiculous nonsense stops. It's a poetry site, not a gym with a boxing ring.

Thanks David. It lifts a burden we carry, and not always are we aware of the weight.
