At the Footbridge

I met Regret today, he sat down beside me-- whilst across the creek, Opportunity circled about Regret introduced himself, between my bevy of sighs, I stated, “I wish I'd never met you, sir” to which he plainly replied, “But then you'd never meet him...” as he glanced beyond the footbridge So I walked across the cobblestone, --and we never spoke again July 22, 2016 Current contest: I Got Zero, Nothing, Nada 2 Former contest: At the Footbridge (judged July 26)

Thank you, John-- a most encouraging and kind compliment. I do enjoy all the prompts offered-- they definitely push my verse to angles I'd most likely not explore if not for the sponsors. Thank you again for the kind remarks on the work-- have a wonderful night my friend :)
