Geoffrey Brewer Poet Rhyme

Mea Culpa

Sins of others may give pain with which I'm fraught

But don't cause me unceasing distress that lingers within

It's those things that I did but should not have, or didn't but ought

That nag me in the wee small hours and stay under my skin

Geoffrey Brewer May 20, 2019 at 9:22 AM I had honestly forgotten that you had seen this poem before, Richard. I hope this does not count against me in your contest. I actually like the poem - the message hits close to home, and I am quite pleased with its rhymes and brevity.
