Love Anger Death and Guilt

LOVE ANGER DEATH AND GUILT Blog was A young girl who was Still at school Everyone loved Blog, she Was nobody’s fool, In fact her peers regarded as really cool. She was determined to learn, Her mom an alcoholic and her dad Hooked on drugs, She was determined to take a stern Turn in her life, her brother also in jail, She tried harder and harder, she was She not going to fail! She finished school and graduated with Excellent grades for college, By now an eighteen year old, With a surplus of knowledge! She was popular from the start, And met a wonderful young man Brad, who was the love of her life, Cupid sent an arrow like a dart, Straight through Blog’s heart! Within months they became a Well known item, They were always together From Christmas day when They met, until the Following Autumn. But something was troubling Blog, Brad seemed to be too friendly With Beverly, At every Spare moment that they got, They were together, He seemed to be infatuated with Her a lot! However, Brad and Blog were still together And spoke of becoming engaged, But one day Blog saw Brad kiss Bev On the cheek, At this she became totally outraged! She had failed an exam, and now this, What a week! Blog was going to speak to Brad that same night, At her house on a bench outside, She knew the moon would be bright. But something dreadful happened That wasn’t right, Blog felt an omen, a bad vibe came Over her, the phone rang, it was Beverly She just cried and cried, On his way to Blog, Brad collided With another car and instantly died! Blog was devastated, so shocked Yet not a tear. She felt guilty that she thought bad Of Brad, After his funeral having a cup of tea With Beverly, Blog understood Beverly was Brads cousin, She wanted to get up and flee, so embarrassed was she, Now she cried tear after tear! Brad and I held a secret from you, Said Bev, we were planning a second Year anniversary party for you two! But it wasn’t to be, Bev and Blog looked up at a starry sky, And Saw a star twinkle, Brad would wink With his right eye, Which secretly between Blog and Brad, meant I love you, Her wink was bad, as she sent a message Back to Brad - I love you too!

So many emotions tangle around these words. Not knowing the truth causes more issues than knowing the truth. This is beautiful and tender, sad too. Congratulations Jennifer, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Thank you so much Tom - I only saw that I had got POTD after we had closed our office and came to our home. I must say, I was really chuffed! See not only Greek, this was one of my English Dad's favorite sayings. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Thank-you Okonkwo, I like to write of real life love, which isn't smooth sailing all the time! My husband and I were sweethearts in our early twenties, drifted apart and then met up again in our forties, both divorced with a son each, and got married 6 months later. The wisest thing I have ever done! Thank-you for a lovely comment, Poetry hugs, Jennifer
