Postcards...promises unfulfilled
Poem for Poppy's February Prompt Thingo
postcards of promises
unfulfilled and plans
unfollowed
backburner of visits
delayed and trips
postponed
lifetime of catch-ups
uncaught and expectations
unmet
sirens of life
unlived and dreams
unrealised
grave of regrets
final place of rest
and unrest
*
Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Poppy's words obviously tapped into a lot of sadness, given my entries into her prompt thingo. This one is that old nutshell of unfulfilled promoses and unrealised dreams.
Also...the irony is not lost that I held this back last night because I didn't want to shove everything out and then missed the deadline, bahaha.
You can find more about her wonderful prompt thingo here:
