Hind Sight

HIND SIGHT M oment by moment the hours tick by, I n each one I wonder and ask myself why, S ince you have left me I feel so alone, S o utterly empty when I should have known, I nviting you into my heart wasn#t wise, N ot when I knew you had other ties, G one now the laughter of warm Summer days, Y ou took them all with you, not wanting to stay. O nly you coulld get under my skin like you did. U ntil you came along I was just a big kid. T hen I met you and everything changed, E xcept for the fact that you were estranged, R ecently leaving a home and a wife, R evealing to me you still wanted that life. I n all that you said and all that you did, B ut I wanted you so I put in my bid, L ike a fool I gambled my all and I lost, Y ou were honest with me and well worth the cost. Judy Ball Don't ever let yourself get caught up in an affair. When it's over it's just not worth the pain and embarrassment. If someone is married they are off limits and if you are married you are not free to sample the other stuff out there. You could lose everything for a cheap, very temporary thrill. Let cooler heads prevail and don't let your loins think for you. This poem was written to convey this message. It is , however pure fiction so don't feel sorry for me. ;) For Aye, Aye And A Mistress Contest by Debbie Guzzi

Dear Judy thanks so much for the entry! You need to add 2 more short verses. Your second verse is not the correct form, so, this one should be removed [you have time;)] now do an ABC form [check my old blog for the easier version of this it is only 5 lines long] and a short Alliterative verse [example she seldom shiver since surely sunshine always shines on Sara...] Looking forward to your corrections! Light & Love

Gee Debbie, Thanks for atopping by to read and I'm afraid I'm having trouble changing this so it sounds good. May have to remove it from the contest and try to come up with something else. God Bless, JB

thought provoking, cliche of these days. I prefer real emotion from true llife experience. However it is extremely well done. I Like it very much!
