A Cherita for dVersePoets

I must take umbrage over those words

that you have shared with all the world.
My deepest secrets, revealed, I thought, to you alone––

lie here, their magic lost,
trapped in tabloids––worthless
except as wraps for fish and chips.

A Cherita, for dVerse Poets Thanks to Matthew Reyes for use of his image on unsplash and to Forgottenman for his additional prompt “umbrage.”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    Such a betrayal indeed! It’s not exactly the same thing, but it makes me think of the musical “Hamilton,” when Eliza suffers because Alexander’s affair in the tabloids of the time.

    FYI, cherita are untitled.
