Regrets

Frank S. had a few
  But then again
'Too few to mention'

Yet to this, my plea
  Please take heed
Very kindly, pay attention

Who hasn't had
  affairs of love
that ended bad
  full elbow shove

Down on one knee
  in misery
Pure discontent-ion...

The flame returned
  but you got burned
Entreaties spurned
  both fists clenched and -- 

You vowed, "No more!"
  there on the floor
in Regret's descension

But know one thing
  There comes the Spring
and Love will bloom
  So, give it room

And then, once more
  True Love will soar
~ Your Heart's Ascension!

         ********
Yes, know one thing
   There comes the Spring
When roses bloom
   So give them room

And once again
True Love will send
   ~ Your heart a-winging!

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 5/16/2019 11:45:00 AM Hi Gershon, This is different and very entertaining - I did feel my foot tapping - true! Regrets - we have a few, (Frankie boy)! Think you should promote this poem to advertisers, or the music industry - really cool poetic verses! Hugs, Jennifer. Login to Reply

Panagiota Romios Date: 5/16/2019 2:36:00 AM I think you should be a song writer. I personally, do like it with reference to the melody of My Way P.R, Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/16/2019 4:09:00 AM I really appreciate your letting me know that this poem works for you with the melody of 'My Way.' Very happy to hear it...And thank you for your interesting suggestion. I am somewhat musical. In fact, I have broken the glass walls of several showers in my time. LOL. Thanks again. ~ Gershon

Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/15/2019 11:23:00 PM It would be such a bleak world if we did not optimistically pull ourselves back up and try again after being smashed to the ground, and pulverized. This poem reminds us, take a chance! Be Doris Day! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/16/2019 4:10:00 AM That's right! We keep getting up off the floor---only to get smacked down once more. Ain't life grand?! :) gw

Sunlite Wanter Date: 5/15/2019 6:41:00 PM I think it has more punch without my trying to fit it to music, but that's a good idea. I did enjoy the pensiveness of it. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/15/2019 7:01:00 PM Wow. You have really helped me here. I didn't think that it worked too well without(!) the music, and now you've let me know that it has. 5 Stars for your help, my friend! Most appreciated. ~ Gershon
