Life's Still Worthwhile

Another angle on the truth
a way to clear your name.
You took the most important step
when you accepted blame.
Now push back pride for honest gain,
yes, welcome love with style,
take seriously your regrets,
and find life's still worthwhile.

Roberthenry Poulin Date: 8/19/2013 6:50:00 AM I am posting for the new coolness, I've read a lot of tanka but you have a hammer in your hands and nailed it and won. The raking leaves and snow so much say it all with the head out of the swing, just wonderful wonderful. I did not realize a woman behind all this until I went to google you, such delicate feelings in your craftwomanship. I love reading your poems, Robert Henry Poulin Login to Reply

Roberthenry Poulin Date: 8/19/2013 5:17:00 AM Robert Frost advised to say the common in uncommon ways and that the aim of a poem was its song. Reading your poem LIFE'S STILL WORTHWHILE the song is strong with lines like; "...take seriously your regrets." (I like that) and "...the choice to accept the blame." and romantic, YES, WELCOME LOVE WITH STYLE. The song sings common uncommon ways. Robert Henry Poulin Login to Reply
