Lover’s Spat.
When I said I didn’t miss you, I admit that I lied.
I didn’t get enough of you. I left unsatisfied.
If you, too, detect a movement in your stone cold heart,
perhaps you could begin with a phone call as a start.
I didn’t mean to say it. You didn’t mean to scream.
I’m willing to atone for it by any means you deem.
Breaking up is hard to do but staying mad is harder.
I spend way too much time in bed, too much time in my larder.
I’m gaining weight and losing hair, burst into tears repeatedly.
I fly off the handle and insult my friends most heatedly.
So I propose our meeting via taxi, boat or plane.
Our last tryst was insufficient. It didn’t heal the pain.
If you’ll come out of hiding, then I will do the same.
If you’ll agree to meet with me, I’ll even take the blame.
You’ll be right and I’ll be wrong. I’ll take the higher road.
The digs that I once took at you will produce the motherlode.
Prompt words for today were taxi, movement, propose and hide.
Love it!!

This poem made me feel quite sad, Judy. It felt like a compromise situation and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Reminds me of the olden days of dating and angst. But it also made me smile.

Very clever, Judy, although I don’t think I would ever take this kind of a groveling approach.

Nor would I. Fiction, Dolly!!!
