Risking Reputations

RISKING REPUTATIONS (written in Samantha's invented form, a poetic trinitas)

Lipstick smears,
Pillows stain.
               Lack of forethought?
Surprising tears –
A cleansing rain.
               Noah knew
               What was coming –
               A boat
Comes in handy in storms,
               but
               A captain,
               Wishing to avoid an iceberg
               Must think ahead.
Still, it can’t always save
A reputation from its fate.
