Hindsight

Listen to poem:

Hindsight is foresight's foe
Heralding woe betides
Halting the hoodwinking
Haunting the present tense
Hanging regrets in caches
Hype, hope dashed by failures
Holding you back, abjure!

What a great opening line, it is too easy to know after the fact what you should have done, also love 'haunting the present tense' - I have often worried too much about what might or might not happen, very well written pleiades~
