Ok, it's been years (um, about 7 years) since I've written poetry.  Tonight, I was determined to write SOMETHING before going to bed.  Below is the first attempt after a long dry spell. Be gentle.  LOL


Sticky love triangle
Who will lose in the end?
One destined as lover
One relegated to friend

What will it cost her
To have her heart’s desire?
Can she be satisfied with ice
Or will she choose fire?

Caught between two worlds…
It’s beyond all reason
Listen to her head
Or commit soul treason?

Tara.. a lovely gifting! Am pleased for you that you have come back to write for us here.. I know what you mean about not writing, my muse only just returned yesterday!  lol

I like your poem.. "soul treason".. it's always difficult but somehow I think you may already know the answer


I wish you a good night's rest lovely girl.

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Oh boy, it's a nice treat to find your name here again! You've been gone too long, Tara.
This is a fine write that underscores the sticky thoughts and questions, should I or shouldn't I?
Welcome home, lady.

It's so good to be back!  I've spent the last week or so rereading all my postings...and realizing how much I've missed this part of my life.  

I almost posted this in Teen since it's inspired by the Twilight series.  LOL

Welcome back, Tara!

"Caught between two worlds…" ~ Ah, yes! Decisions, decisions!

Isn't it great to have the ability to pick up a pen and write down your thoughts!

Giving you a warm, welcome-back pip hug,

EA

7 years Tara? Wow.

That's one huge writer's block. Glad you came out of it. I bet the words will come like a torrent now.

Oh yeah and, I liked the soul treason line too. Excellent.

Chalmette Guy, I'm working on it slowly.  You know what they say...use it or lose it.  Gotta build up the poetic muscle that's atrophied over the years.

Thank you for your comments, everyone.
