I Did Not Cry



          the path to self realization
          took longer than anticipated

          barricaded roads, unanswered doors
          and darkened blinds
          stood out like road blocks
          giving clues to the obvious

          I should've paid more attention
          to the danger signs posted
          it would have saved me
          time, money and heartache

    This feels like "love is blind"...we just can't see the signs or red flags! We don't want too, unfortunately this always leads to heartache and more! Cleverly written my little poet! ~Tia

    mhmmm.... I'm likeing this. Not top notch... but interesting.

    this is my favorite part "barricaded roads, unanswered doors
    and darkened blinds"

    though I can't tell you why. It just stuck with me.

    Bravo and good luck

    It seems we always have to learn the hard way, we gotta quit anging our heads and look on to the future. It was a pleasure to read. Darlene Long

    Now I know why they say "hindsight" is 20/20. In looking back it is always much easier to see the folly in choices we've made but hopefully we ... live and learn.

    Sincerely,

    ps. I'm never disappointed when I read your work.

    How true are your words. I still am realizing things about myself. I never wanted to see the warning signs that have popped up before, but now I look for them in everything I do. Excellent job on this one. This poem struck it home for me.

    Isn't it the truth... we go through life ignoring the warning signs as if we were blind, not even acknowledging that there's lessons to be learned.

    Oh, eventually we do learn but it could have been so much easier.

    Very thoughtful poem, Sis and I wish you best of luck in the contest

    This is one I'm sure many can relate to. Some lessons just have to be learned the hard way. Well done lady!

    A crystallizing metamorphosis of a poem.
    I only wish for myself that those lucid moments
    Could be maintained. Distracted off course I tend to get.
    Great take on the topic prompt.

    This is so true...
    'I should've paid more attention
    to the danger signs posted'

    We can't always see the danger, some cover it up to well...

    I loved this wrie...
