the death of what was
fix your mouth just right, say pfft
what was is no more

quote:
"the death of what was" & "what was is no more"
...exemplifies passe', one of my most used words. I've gotten rid of far more than I kept, metaphorically or otherwise.

Love the simple yet profound wisdom in your writing Jerry.  

More feelings and fewer words please

Hi Jerrypat! Your "pfft" sounds like an abracadabra! I guess there's somethings "was" that I don't miss! Good poem!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

Pfft! yep, that's a good way to think of it.  I've got some pfft's I need to accept  and some things I need to say pfft to. ~L

Hah! Yeah, I hear you loud and clear, Lori. I finally, after so many years, learned to seek what was good for ME! The rest of the pfft's worked itself out. Thank for your kind comments.
