Deleted Words Potd

Listen to poem:

Those words I typed long since deleted Too much written and over heated Getting all hazed and overhyped Long since deleted those words I typed Lost and found I was over rated Involved in things that were ill-fated Stepped away before I was drowned I was over rated, lost and found Temptation still lingers at the edges Good intentions we make our pledges Regret love that slipped through our fingers At the edges temptation still lingers Just let time pass, see how things go It all moved fast, let's just take it slow No matter how long no one will out class See how things go, just let time pass Those words I typed long since deleted I'm sure in time you'll be warmly greeted All the pain from our hearts now wiped Long since deleted those words I typed

Wonderful Dilly, belated congratulations on POTD, I was on holiday and totally missed this, do I get a little hint of a doleful Alanis singing this one, I think I do, cheers David

Who knows David, I'd perhaps fancy myself as a folk singer (if I could consistently hold a note) thanks for your kind words

No commiserations required, was just on the lost love vibe that over spilled into a second poem - all is well. Thanks for your kind words x

Thank you so much for these extra special words of praise Paul, they are so appreciated. I can skip over a positive review and the words not land but I hear you on this occasion (for this minute at least) and I thank you :)

Dilly Dally, your poem and audio are lovely, and you are courageous to have sung it a cappella. We appreciate the truthful, straightforward, and sincere nature of your poetry. Congratulations on Poem of the Day!

Thank you Mark - I actually struggle to hold a tune with backing music I believe so this was about as well as I could approximate what I wanted to share. Thank you for your lovely words of enthusiastic support :)

So many times words are placed, but once there, thoughts and fingers find the delete button. I think we've all been there and done that before. So many emotions linger within. Congratulations Di11y, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Thank you Brandy, I have too much to say and don't always have the energy to have said it, so delete is better on occasion. Thank you for your thoughtful comment, much appreciated x

"Just let time pass, see how things go It all moved fast, let's just take it slow No matter how long no one will out class See how things go, just let time pass" I can relate! ;D Congrats! You have a beautiful voice dear DD reminiscent of vintage folk singers! "I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag I'm useless, but not for long The future is coming on...Gorillas INC. also love their Gorillaz - Dirty Harry (Live BRITs Performance)

Interesting way you repeated the first and last line of each verse by reversing the two phraes in each line. Very creative poetry, DD. I enjoyed the read. Bill

It's called a swap quatrain, I saw another poet use the form and just loved how lyrical it is (I've sang this one and put the audio up if you click through to my page). They are so easy to do to, they almost write themselves with such an easy rhyme scheme. Glad you enjoyed it :)

This is lovely DD You have a lovely voice. The poem is beautiful. Sometimes it helps to let it all out, express the way we feel, then delete it. Glad that you didn't delete this one. Its truly lovely, sincere and real.
