Image: His Indiscretions Readily Forgiven (here)
12 given words:
broken plank cliff longer mistake revenge,
music, everything loneliness, create,snare pepper
Traumatic experience of a broken promise
Made to walk the plank at top of the cliff
No longer a mistake but an act of revenge
Had to face the music despite being a friend
Everything seemed normal much of the way
Loneliness forced the issue that led him astray
Created dissensions but still a calculated risk
Before he was ensnared, away he was whisked
Strangely enough being unfaithful had its rewards
What he had to do then but returned with all his faults
Peppered with love and smothered with kisses
Welcomed back most profoundly by the bitches
Note: Make no mistake. This is humor inclined.
A stray dog story. 'Bitches' referred to the canines!

ReplyDeleteThis is quite a poignant tale!
ReplyDeleteClever. Like it.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Till I read your explanation, I wondered if you were referring to yesterday's uprising. LOL.
ReplyDeletePhew... I'm glad this was a canine... If it had been a man he would be rightfully shredded to pieces.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the rhyme. Such fun. And I adore the huge laugh you gifted me with at the very end. Thank you, Hank.
ReplyDeleteHa. This cracked me up: "Welcomed back most profoundly by the bitches"
ReplyDeleteGlad for your note at the end. :-)

Second poem with planks and cliffs. Some weeks it's like we read each other's minds. This was cute!
