Kicking Dominoes

KICKING DOMINOES

nonsense utter nonsense plays out
dominoes don’t just get knocked down
they get kicked down
you’ve not been attacked
and no one’s hurt you on purpose
you forgot to consider
all the facts
now you’re the one
hurting on purpose
shame…
               shame…
                              shame…

Freddie Robinson Jr. August 11, 2017 at 9:55 AM Very sublime subtext woven in this picture perfect poem, Kim ... even down to the dominoes/of shame being kicked down. A cool, and thoughtful poem written exceptionally well. Love and smiles. Kim Rodrigues August 11, 2017 at 10:04 AM Thanks! Kicking down those feelings. Finding forgiveness as I simmer down. Just protecting those I love.

Dean Wood August 10, 2017 at 11:17 AM Oh there is a back story here that I wish I were in on. Reminds me of refereeing grandkids! Enjoyed this Kim. -- Dean Kim Rodrigues August 10, 2017 at 12:39 PM Yes, not so pleasant as that but alas we survive the onslaught. Still forgiveness is key <3. Kim
