Losing the Worm

Found the best hotel room For a little get-away. Went there once before and knew That’s where I want to stay. Checked it out last week but didn’t Click where it said, “Book.” Now, today, I’m ready but When going back to look… Of course, the room I want is gone. The lesson to be learned Is – do things when you have the chance Or else, you will get burned.

Dear Ilene, I love how you deliver a poignant reminder about seizing opportunities before they slip away. The simple yet relatable narrative of missing out on the perfect hotel room strikes a chord with readers. It's a valuable lesson encapsulated in a brief and memorable piece of poetry. This insightful reflection on the importance of seizing the moment. - Blessings, Daniel

A good poem but this may not be true. I booked ahead and paid a lot. While waiting in the lobby, I overheard a telephone call with a last minute booking and she paid $100 less.
