Wilma Neels Poet Nonet

Breaking Ties

We’re sitting across from each other 
thoughts racing, anticipating 
the anguish of breaking ties 
clinging to futile hope 
maybe try again  
one last kiss, 
a last hug
part ways 
tears

Caroline Cécile Delacroix September 10, 2010 at 7:01 PM Hmm, interesting write, well done. Not sure I understand, why "anticipating the anguish..."? Quite thought provoking, Wilma! Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind comments on my latest. Love, Caroline.

Carolyn Devonshire September 10, 2010 at 1:06 PM Thank you for your comments on Disposable Wisdom, Wilma. It was a true story and I still get choked up thinking about the way Annie lived and died in loneliness. Bless you for your kind comments. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire September 10, 2010 at 11:41 AM There is so much pain when we cling to "futile hope." Been through this, Wilma, and remember the heartache while reading your beautifully penned poem. Love, Carolyn

Joy Wellington September 10, 2010 at 11:40 AM Hm hmmmm! I know of that! "One last kiss, a last hug part ways tears" been there done that. There is always the anticipation of the next meet though. Luv, Joy (Jew)

Diane Locksley September 10, 2010 at 11:31 AM We always hope something will change with that last kiss or last hug, but sometimes relationships have just run their course. Great nonet, Wilma! I'm realy enjoying your work.

James Fraser September 10, 2010 at 8:21 AM Breaking up is so very hard to do, especially if you are/were fond of them. Nice nonet Wilma >> James
