Consequences

As consequences must and do accrue, Redolent foamy crests in oceans blue, That rise and fall when pulled by lunar cue, To muddy dust on shores of sandy hue; Where toes thrust deep when comes the morning dew, Beneath grey skies where once proud eagles flew, But now limp idly by grounded and through, Watching memories fade to residue – That stain the steps of unforgiving shrew, Blaming nature demanding a cleanup crew. 10/23/16

Hello Phillip! Nice to see you. Those darn unforgiving shrews can be a pain. Nice to see you haven't lost your enigmatic style. I will refrain from commenting on the nature of the write but, "nice one":)

Ominous, in your usual striking style . Sounds like an 'unforgiving shrew' wife, or SO perhaps, has cut you down to size telling you to clean up your damned act. Am I even close? :)

Ha. I don't know. This poem started out with a purpose that was angrier than what you suggested but someone effed up my bad mood so i quietly filled in the rhyming blanks and pressed submit so as to feel like I accomplished something
