Karen Anglesey Poet Rhyme

Nemesis

Galloping through a rambled life
With her spirit carried in a saddlebag
Relishing the joy in her new voice
Finally, the master of her own choice

'Let's sing songs and say poems'
We chimed, way back then, huddled in
Our beds, once in need of being friends
Sadly along the way it ends

Rough roads buried our childhood pleasures
Excited now to share new found treasures
Until she reminds that I could have,
Should have, done better

Subtle messages of what lacks or the things
I should need, I fall down to skin my knees
She'll stand amused to watch me bleed
Then leave me alone to live my own dream

Andrea Dietrich May 19, 2013 at 11:16 PM So I see what you mean, dear. It's sad, but as Abdulha says here, you are better for her departure. Thanks for letting me know about this one. I enjoyed seeing it. Karen Anglesey May 20, 2013 at 6:01 PM Andrea, thank you for your thoughtful words. Have a lovely evening.. :)

Abdulhafeez Oyewole May 14, 2013 at 6:01 AM A sad pen you've pen, though your last stanza that stressed the solace you found in her departure brings the peace of mind you've found in pursuing what is best known to you as your best. I'm really happy for you. Well done Karen. Beautiful! ~AO Karen Anglesey May 14, 2013 at 5:16 PM Abdullh, you understood perfectly ... thank you for this great critique. I thank you for taking the time to review :)
