It came from a phone call
I didn’t want any part of
Thump thump then it came
Then I heard your sweet melodic voice
I was hooked and now I have lost my nerve
A friend is in need of some help
that sounds good
You would never stop me from helping a friend
Would you?
This is a zoo
Shaking in the universe
You blindsided me with your tone
Round and round you swung me high
Time has passed and now you don’t understand
Why …
Bye bye

Good one We are and sometimes blindsided by charm or need
ReplyDeleteThat's the trouble with good nature - it will either be abused or criticised.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Being kind can get us into all sorts of problems at times.
ReplyDeleteKindness sometimes is regarded as a weakness! Sad kind of attitude in some people!

ReplyDeleteThump thump, round and round, bye bye...that says it all....nothing but a circle, eh? Great, Pamela!
ReplyDeleteCharms can undo us totally, nicely written Pamela.
ReplyDeletethump thump woke me up right at the start...I lose my nerve so often...sheesh. At least I'm not alone. :)

I like your brutally honest kick-off of "It came from a phone call I didn’t want any part of". Even better, I like that you hung up without giving in.

Well I sort of did not give in until lately and now I am just really disappointed so this character will get more writing done!Thanks!
ReplyDeletePamela
A little confusing but if I'm reading it correctly, I would say step carefully. It is always good to help someone but it is never good to get sucked in to their problems so deeply that you can't break yourself loose. Very interesting poem. I hope you are able to work things out.

ReplyDeleteThis person is imaginary I have just decided to write about them in a fashion that leads you follow their progress but honestly it is not real. Imagine if it were. Thanks for commenting.

Hi Pamela--Well done! Captures how easily we are taken in...but like the strength and resolve ultimately shown.
