It could of been an apple tree writers island #5 blindside

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

  1. Good one We are and sometimes blindsided by charm or need

  2. That's the trouble with good nature - it will either be abused or criticised.

  3. Nicely done. Being kind can get us into all sorts of problems at times.

  4. Kindness sometimes is regarded as a weakness! Sad kind of attitude in some people!

  17. 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.

  19. 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.

    This 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.

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