Image: Not to Abandon Ship (here)
The feeling was great and the occasion made
Set to be settled not in a meek way unsolicited
When it was an enduring faith to right a mistake
But why must there be a quaint feeling of hurt
Abandoned in a groove of failed assertions
Lamenting luckless nights dodging with his skills
Out of the rut for a reasonably stable outcome
Determined to clamber back onto an even keel
To extend support aligned to their knowledge
Friends were expected to lend a helping hand
But not the best of times to be so privileged
Karma was having a field day to exact payment
Lillian's at d'Verse's Tuesday Poetics :
How Are You Feeling Today? - groove
Very true - what comes around goes around.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if tit for tat really works... maybe there were no friendship if it's based on balance sheets.
ReplyDeleteI like that last line about karma's field day.
ReplyDeleteKarma will certainly have its day Hank!
ReplyDelete"Abandoned in a groove of failed assertions"
ReplyDeleteSo much meaning in this line....it's a stand alone, actually.
And yes, Karma shall have its day!
Wonderful to read Hank albeit later than intended.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
A delightful read indeed and a reflective one at that. Warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteThings can sure come back to bite one in the backside
