mourn chipped soap mark draw work mail catalog threadbare (poor or shabby in appearance)
mend broken
to mourn a failed encounter
chipped at the edges
will need more
than just soap and water
it will be off the mark
to draw an inspiration
from those who enjoy blissfully
a relationship that works
a mail-order bride from
a catalog of pretty faces
may not be revealing
the threadbare concoction
to mend a broken soul

ReplyDeletenicely done! You've weaved your tale wonderfully."a mail-order bride from a catalog of pretty faces" and the first stanza are very clever!
ReplyDeleteSo utterly well-written!
ReplyDeleteTo find someone is for real a true challenge... not easy for the brides either with just a pretty face as an asset.
ReplyDeleteThis is so poignant!
