“No man is an island”. At least I’ve heard them say- That everyone needs someone.. I cannot say them, “Nay”. But this I can and will maintain Sure as the stars above... There’s neither rhyme nor reason When a person falls in love. Love is a form of madness- I doubt not this is true... Consider those around you And you will see it too. For kindest maid, loves cruelest cad- And finest lad, some tart... And reason has no voice, my friend When dealing with the heart. And have you ever noticed- It seems we never learn.... By all our past poor choices And times our hands were burned? Again, and yet again, I say- Our hearts respond alike To the same sort we’ve had before Unlike the lightning strike. Time after time a genteel girl Will marry some vile boozer Just as Miss Likely to Succeed- Will keep on wedding losers. |

Well done! I totally agree! People are so blind or foolish sometimes..  ------------------ How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool? ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

This is great! And I'm sure so true for so many people! Perhaps my husband and I are the exception to the rule! (I hope I'm not a tart!)  ------------------ Denise |

You have an amazing way with words! Your words echo in my soul. I fear the same bad choices I have made in my life. |

Ya know what they say, gs. A woman's love is like the morning dew....it would just as soon settle on a horse's ass as a rose. Good poem. |

'Slinger, you've done it again, and hit on human nature. Sometimes we're luckier the second, or third, time around. Good piece, thanks! |
