Trust Ii

Trust is only a word
after all, why do we trust?
When at the other end
of a broken one,
one is labelled a fool a simpleton!

at first this looked like a tanka to me. With just a bit of work it could be tanka as well as free verse. I really like it, Harry! and your new picture is very nice too. I like it even better than your last avatar!

Hola Harry, I'm done being a fool & simpleton... I like to think of myself a non-believer of everyone.. I to can not be trusted when it comes to keeping my word. I'm not gonna lie, I have such a hard time keeping my words, when I can not even trust the person asking me to trust them.. oi! that sounds confusing.. enjoyed your verse... xox~pd

But one must become a fool to embrace trust, still why must we trust? Nice one

Funny how we feel like a fool when the one breaking the trust is acting foolish!
