Lori Hopkins Poet Free verse

Nasty Habits

When I see you unkempt
I know you’re having a bad day
And;

I can’t help but laugh
When you say how disgusted you are
At things all around

We all make compromises 
In order to make it through

You have that nasty habit 
Of forgetfulness
Don’t you remember when you said,
	“Trust Me”

And;
I have that nasty habit 
Of forgiveness

Robin Davis November 9, 2013 at 7:28 PM This is a deep and powerful write, with a little honesty and integrity thrown in. Everyone need to learn to forgive when someone is having a bad day or loses your trust. Nice job

Just That Archaic Poet August 25, 2013 at 9:46 AM The last lines were the clincher; it reeled the whole thing in beautifully and anchored it firmly. They were really quite thought-provoking (as was the whole piece), but those last lines made me sit here for a minute and think, and I love it when a verse (or verses) make me go Hmmmmmmmmm, you know? Kudos! :) Lori Hopkins August 25, 2013 at 10:57 AM oh yes i do know :) and thank you! glad to know you too stop, and ponder :)
