I Hear

I hear you may be leaving.
No question does it pose.
My heart stirs not to grieving.
I can pluck another rose.
For if for friend or sanity,
'Tis the latter that I chose.
Please check the front yard lawn.
That's where you'll find your clothes.

Valsa George Date: 10/13/2024 6:18:00 AM Very curt and bold. When one is about to lose one's sanity because of someone, it is better that he is dismissed from mind and home. But it requires courage. Well expressed Hilda. Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/13/2024 6:36:00 AM Thank you.

Joe Dimino Date: 10/6/2024 12:53:00 PM Good one, Hilda; love goes on......... Maybe someone more deserving. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 10/7/2024 6:04:00 AM I lost count years ago. Fooled is a badge of honor -- meaning brave enough to live in the moment, with an open, unprotected vulnerable heart. Warriors, wear armor, break things. Poets go naked into the woods, write and sing to nature if no one else around:) -- today I am a poet. Love your honest-of-heart poem. Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/6/2024 1:29:00 PM Thank you for understanding. Everyone gets fooled at least once in a lifetime.

Ink Empress Date: 10/5/2024 12:23:00 AM “ i can pluck another rose” yes, theres always another rose for the ones that have a heart that welcomes fragrance of love. And whoever wants to leave can just leave. Such is life. This emanates strength, its never easy when one leaves but to be able to stand firm and not be broken or shattered by the loss is something that only strong souls can do. Pleasure reading this powerful poem. Sending you light always Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/5/2024 2:41:00 AM Thank you. One must know her mind..

Kim Rodrigues Date: 10/2/2024 9:15:00 AM Sometimes it is for the sake of sanity! Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/2/2024 9:58:00 AM Yep. Life is too short to have it ruined.

Hiya Sharma Date: 10/2/2024 5:28:00 AM Oh wow, now this is quite a witty and impeccable write that reflects so much power, asserted in defining those boundaries! Life's so short and not worth such heartaches which crumble down our souls & leave us with only regrets to mourn, it's better to enjoy the lionhearted freedom of life, rather ~ love the classy humour as well in the end.. Brilliantly crafted, enjoyed reading this dear Hilda.. Sending you love & light always. Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/2/2024 6:44:00 AM Thank you. I hope you had a little laugh too.

Panagiota Romios Date: 10/1/2024 8:08:00 PM With Karen, I am laughing! I found this to be clever and humorous. Never mind crying over spilled milk or who’s leaving …goodbye))) Sometimes men think they are the only hot thing in our lives! Such arrogance~ There are plenty of wonderful men in the world so crying over one dude, I think is the most huge waste of time and feeling sorry for one’s self I ever heard of.. heck, The world is filled with great men. Pangie Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/1/2024 8:27:00 PM I agree. This is one of my un-love poems. If you've ever taken off and camped out alone, you realize how free the world is. Thanks for the comment.
