Promises Unkempt

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Shainbird

Promise unkempt
Dressed in tatters
In strong wind scatters

Made to preempt
Yet give way
By light of day

Awake in contempt
Past lost intentions
Seduced by mentions

It so saddens me when promises are not kept…you’ve expressed it well.

    Those are the worst unkept promises, I agree.

“Past lost intentions”- It happens. Well-penned. 🙂

  And at times, lost intentions can be unavoidable. I guess they can be made up in the next move one makes. Thank you HA 🙂

I loved the poem and the rhyme scheme, it speaks truth close to the heart.
