WRONG WAY

We will all die ~
despite screaming
brains try for thought.

Wrong lane, wrong way.
Death delay, pray.
Cars stray and honk.

Oh, please, cars – clear ~
a turn appears,
I steer; all cheer.

well done, my friend. These are so difficult to make a story from. I was thinking they were six syllables each and now i have to redo my whole set. (sorry I can't see more. I am super behind at Soup)

Hey, there. Yepper, we fumble - this one is true, turned into three lanes of traffic coming at me and knew if it was meant to be, it was good bye for my Mother and me. Now, if it is the right time of night, we get serious giggles about the folly. Thank you, Nette ... CayCay

Hi CayCay! Once somebody said that we spend a lifetime of regret to atone for a moment of folly! Musing aside...I love your take on your human folly. In the meantime I wish you a happy Valentine's Day:) ~ Warm regards // paul

What a terribly limiting perspective that prescribes and manifests long lasting regret! Anything from the past that one places in a big sack to carry around, is a waste to me and something I wish I could get my Mother to see. The older she gets, the more bitterness she totes around - some of it made up. Sorry, she and her attitutude weigh heavy on my mind currently. I want her to let go and Let God, and then smile all the way from her heart ...

Hey, gorgeous, too! I've been elsewhere, life sent me there, but all is well and I've missed you, soup, et. al. Never heard or read about this form and did find it a challenge, but that's fun, right? Thank you so much for commenting. Be well ... CayCay

I blew off my first 4 forced attempts. Later, I napped and it came to me. Marinate on it and you'll compose, I just know it! I am thrilled that you liked my write. Thank you, Jan ... CayCay

Happy heart day to you! I already received and ate huge amounts of chocolate - my favorite food group! Grab love and hold tight. I thank you for commenting, sweet one ... CayCay Oh, your hat says, "Dallas" and appears to be Cowboy colors - maybe next year??? I use to live near their original stadium and use to believe in Romo - now I am deliberating ...
