Notes About The Poem

" FUTURE " MY PHOTO, ©

Regretting the Past

Regretting one's past ruinous actions
 
is certainly a waste of precious time 

wise would be to use the lessons learned 

to build his future's edifice sublime!

little poem.
** I also thank PotrySoup anf its officials for judging my poem as 
worthy of such an honor!

Demetrios, your truth and wisdom are made all the more profound with the brevity of words and simplicity of message. We should fertilize the groves of tomorrow with the regrets of yesterday. Thank you, and congrats ~ John

I love the personal photos you always place with your words. Beautiful flowers indeed. Your thoughts hold so much truth. It is best to learn from the past and then move forward. It is okay to look back, but don't dwell there for a long time. Especially in moments of regret. Congratulations Demetrios, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy
