Janice Canerdy Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

                     June 25, 2026, entered in Silent One's Broken Promises contest

                                        ***************************************************

 

Fragile Heart

Foolish, needy me
Rejected and cruelly set free
Again, lured back
Grieved by what lacks
In this so-called romance
Love’s a chancy dance 
Equality’s nonexistent

Heartache is persistent
Each day I’m sinking lower 
Aware that more broken promises are in store
Realizing I’m to blame, too weak
To pursue the change I should seek
