Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

I Carry With Me, Mistakes

In my life I carry with me my mistakes..
On a tough road I have learned there are
no second takes..
I have picked up mistakes like a snow ball
rolling down a hill..
Admiting I was wrong or and being sorry
was a tough swallow of that pill..
Like a broom I tried to sweep away the past..
But was always amazed how it resurfaced so fast..
But I can't get cocky while the sun follows my way..
One wrong turn and that snowball will make it grey..

Gwendolen Song May 14, 2011 at 4:45 PM Your mistake poem is NO MISTAKE. It is lovely! My fav line is the snowball rolling down a hill....If I wrote a poem for this contest I may take a similar theme-in lieu of snowballs tho I would have to use GLACIERS! The pill and broom analogies are also effective! Gwendolen

Carolyn Devonshire May 13, 2011 at 2:20 PM We all make mistakes that can't be rectify; life doesn't always offer second chances. Admitting you are wrong is tough sometimes and it is wise to realize that just because things our going our way for a while, they could change at any moment. You may feel like you are carrying mistakes, Michael, but your messages always carry wisdom and love. Best wishes in Paula's contest! Love, Carolyn
