Hindsight “Come into my room,” Said the spider to the fly. Like the fly, I was intrigued by the invitation, Lured by your smile; Then trapped in your web. I entered willingly, But there ended my free will. Funny how long it took me to realize I was a captive in this place, And not a guest. Had I recognized the danger, I would not have entered, Would not have let down my guard. Hindsight is 20/20... Or so I’ve been told. ------------------ "This world is not conclusion. A sequel stands beyond, Invisable as music, But positive as sound." ~Emily Dickinson |

It really is Ruth. I see many things more clearly today then I did yesterday. Great work, by the way I know that fly today and I'm happy to say she flys free and true. ------------------ Pain is life, life is short, I will endure. DreamEvil© |

Lady Hoot: As you've stated in the past, not everyone fingures it out the first time around. 20/20? I guess in some cases it depends on if you wear glasses or not. And sometimes it just aint worth a damn. I like this bit of work, as I do all that I read by your hand. Thanks for sharing all that you do. |

Seymore and Whtdove thank you very much Andrew...I'm blushing, thanks for your kind words and you are so right, hindsight isn't always 20/20....if we don't learn from our mistakes it can be very farsighted!! ------------------ "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" ~Albert Camus |

Sis, how many times have both of us entered that web? Thank goodness you are there by my side to pull me back out. Your writing style seems to be changing a little bit. Makes for a very interesting read. Keep up the great work. Always so proud to call you sis! |
