your words flow sweetly
dripping with candy coated tact
i listen trying to understand
waiting for the sugar to melt
pardon me....
but did you just break my heart?

Don't worry, Betty...just a fantasy on being let down easy.*S* (It seems to me though, that I have visited this situation a couple of times in my life.)

Joyce...thank you.  She has it mastered.  The heart has been broken before the mind completely realizes it.*S*

Songbird...thank you.  We all at some time have been let down by someone we cared for.  Some do it quite brutally.  Some do it softly and sweetly, with great care.  They both hurt.  Glad you liked this one.*S*

Mike, This is terrific. I am so glad I came in to say hi - been absent for half of April and all of May - good to see you are still in top form. Panne

Very good, Mike! I enjoyed this very much. You've portrayed so well the impact of the pain with so few words. Excellent!

I like this, Mike.   I love the tone you say things in.

Temptress...thank you, glad you enjoyed this.  You got me wondering about my tone though.*S*

Maree...this is one I was 100% happy with when I completed it.  All the words seemed to fall right into place for me.  Glad you liked it. Thank you.*S*

Hi mistyrose....

Sorry I missed your comment until now.  I've been offline a few days with computer problems.  Regarding the poem, I think we all have experienced this at some time or another.  The words seem to hit our ears but their meaning doesn't really sink in right at the moment...(or we don't want it to.)  Glad you enjoyed and I hope things turn out ok with you.*S*

Mike
