Dear Friend

Dear friend of longstanding honor
Come, sit beside me here
My tale of woe is a yawner,
But, one fitting your ear.

My sin uneventful.
She was most resentful,
Not so consentual.

You have stayed with me to the bitter end
So sorry I cheated on her, dear friend.

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/21/2021 7:50:00 PM I feel as if you've let me in on the most intimate of conversations. This is a stunner, Milt. Right into my FAVES. Thanks, Gershon Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/23/2021 8:28:00 PM The fact that it is fiction makes it an even better poem, actually -- revealing the poet's deep insights into human emotions. Bravo! ~ Gershon L Milton Hankins Date: 10/22/2021 10:02:00 AM Hey, thanks so much, Gershon. It is pure fiction, however.
