Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

No Quick Fix

We’ve proven there's no quick fix
when we start to yell and cuss.
Oil and water do not mix,
and the same thing goes for us.

When together, night and day,
senseless arguments break out.
And politeness fades away
as we both begin to shout.

Right or wrong, we won't relent;
egos are immune to tears.
And insults fuel our descent,
like drunks quibbling over beers.

Anger rises a degree 
when neither of us will bend.
But there's no chance we'll agree,
so our hearts will never mend.

Arrogance spews from our lips,
giving in; is hard to do.
And although all reason slips,
we opt to argue it through.


(Quatrain)

Line Gauthier February 25, 2018 at 8:13 PM Your poem is an excellent delivery of a great message, Emile. I read how disrespect leads to loss of sanity or reason. I love the lines "insults fuel our descent like drunks quibbling over beers" - describes the loss of dignity so well. Emile Pinet February 26, 2018 at 8:18 AM Thanks so much Line, I do so appreciate your visits. Emile.

James Fraser May 3, 2015 at 6:20 PM Although fictional, there's a seam of reality fusing within said words of which remind me of Social Sites and their constant egotistical glides upon non existent sheets of nonsense that make such sites like the Soup turn. Nice write Emile, smiles, James :) :) Emile Pinet May 4, 2015 at 8:12 AM Thanks James, your comments and support are always welcome. Emile.

Aiyah Torres May 3, 2015 at 10:59 AM too real in one relationship... no quick fix to heal once we start with argues and not giving up each pride... the ending.. both were lost... well done, Emile :))) Emile Pinet May 3, 2015 at 11:19 AM Thanks so much Aiyah, I appreciate both your comments and support. Emile.
