Friends not to become strangers

An opportunity forsaken,
A potential reality missed,
My mentality was mistaken,
As my errs of past and future kissed.

Situations revisited,
In my apologetic mind,
For I’ve lost a good friend before,
I’ll not make a mistake in kind.

Author notes

Despite it being a while since I've been on here, I have still been writing... and since I wrote this, my friend and I have become close again! So big 's all round!

What did you think?

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    I think you need to use "errors", as "err" is a verb, and I believe you are trying to use a noun. Also, you make want to consider not trying to make it rhyme. Specifically the second stanza feels a bit forced, and it takes away from the overall meter and impact. Aside from that, I really thought it was a lovely little piece that conveyed it's message quite well. Nice job!

    your errs of past. I wonder what that means. I miss both chess and playing cards in the cabin.

    Big s all around indeed. Never nice when a potato hits you on the what.

      lol that's the reason I conveyed it ambiguously, I'd rather not be direct as it's a sensitive subject and close to my heart... But I definately miss chess in the common room, and trying on masks in the cabin.

            'chocolate is better than strawberry'.
            Dear lord, I hope you're a liar.
