Notes About The Poem

If it be

you owe me an apology
you owe me better
you owe me promises and dreams
you owe me the sun and the moon
you owe me better
 
i haven't given up on us
but i'm holding out
for better

Mike Bayles August 2, 2024 at 7:25 AM I like the feelings conveyed by the speaker of the poem, a touch of anger. There is a good sense of bargaining and pleading. Line Gauthier September 15, 2024 at 1:26 PM Yes, thanks, Mike ~ much appreciated

Gary Radice July 27, 2024 at 2:22 AM I like your poem’s ambiguity; are you directing your words to a person who has perhaps wronged you in a relationship or indeed life itself? Great to read you back at The Soup Line. The tureen has leaked much talent recently. Cheers - Gary Line Gauthier September 15, 2024 at 1:27 PM Hi Gary ! thanks for your visit and comment. I'm busy particularly preoccupied these days ~
