Maxine Smith

Tears


T racing down my tender cheeks

E motion  drops filled with defeat

A nguish from inside pours out

R ivers flowing uncontrollably

S orrowing storms still ahead of me

        A sensitive write Maxine.
        Meanwhile (me being daft) - Oohh, dry ya tears gal. I never knew me singing would cause ya such upset. I only said 'I'll sing ya a song or three'. Though that's enough to make anyone burst out crying! heehee.

          Haha thanks for reading Ochidee.

          Here's another thing - Ken Dodd only shed tears cos they found out about his non-payment of taxes! He was singing 'Happiness' before that - well, he would be - 'I'm alright Jack!'
          It's fraudulent - we can't condone it. Why should he get away with it?

                  I’m pleased you found the delight, while reflecting on these past poems, I see even more growth.

                  So I’ll thank you for revisiting and reminding me of how far I’ve come.
