I took this two ways, someone afraid of being harmed and someone on the make looking for an affair. Tue dual meaning of lap as once more around the track and also someone\'s lap make this work well. A fun and most clever write.

Dang! I seriously begin to wonder both whether we\'ve similar professions, and after that, how many in my profession are in this genre and on this site. Lovely and prettily rendered with rather exceptional imagery, though it seems simple, with a charming poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The condition of this genre by now is so debauched you\'d be hard pressed to pull off the trick of \"bad\" poetry. Delightfully rendered with a happy sense of fun and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I\'m surprised we leave the house in the morning.
Mind you, the sharks aren\'t in the water any more, they\'re all online.

A clever write using fish and sharks as metaphor for problems that arise and grow through time. Well done

Fascinating metaphor for doubts and fears which verily do eat us alive, played out until I lost track of what we were discussing in the metaphorical drama played out effectively. Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The recognition that with the blessing of rain comes a little mud. Very nicely written this poem speaks of the tradeoff of friendship with some pain that accompanies it. Very nice and a fave for the metaphor

But none saith, where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
(And wifes to love, as our own bodies). Nice work.
It is enough for the disciple to be as his master, and the servant as his lord.

A sense of wanting to be another person, but as they really are and not what they pretend to be. I feel a question of sexuality being raised and does marriage really bring around bliss, enjoyed the read

Fascinating and rather intriguing, curious, rather. I remain undecided. Rendered in tasteful brevity with a far deeper message than its size would suggest. Thank you for sharing.

I love the way the repetition at the end of each line reinforces the feeling of the poem and it builds climaxing in the last line. Nicely done

Sorry you\'ve been lacking that twinkling spark called \"inspiration,\" this is a beauty. Keep on! There\'s a charm to its simplicity and definitely an appeal. I like it! Prettily rendered with excellent imagery and a very winsome poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Frankly, there\'s a distinct echo of an antique poem haunting your lines, a sonnet of one Michael Drayton, and I cherish that.

This poem carries an intriguing short and regular meter on alternating lines giving it a feel of a walking pace that does not cease until the end of the poem. It has a sense of urgency of a job that must be done and all else put on the back burner. This accompanies the subject of the poem itself and enhances it. Nicely done
