The Sorriest of Words
The cry she made
Was barely heard
Helpless
As a baby bird
And twice as hungry
Yet still frightened
Sorry might be just
Another word regardless

Times like you so aptly describe are etched in the heart and mind where sorry seems so inadequate. A haunt of a read...............x
thank you Fay,,, considering this is one of those that kind of wrote itself, I shall pass the message on ….

Bam and ain't that the truth when we forget that action speak louder that words! Our Internet feels like a burden of a curse, when they can't cope force remains the first...
Great work my friend!
Much peace and respect
Thank you Dan and both those sentiments back at you.. Stay safe and well my friend

A fine write Neville.
'E'ermore' is another sorry word - well, a 'sad' word in the sense of boring! lol.
I like that particular word & thank you for gracing my little scribble with your visit today 👍
You seen any 'e'ermores' about? You could look for them, and I will look for 'sorry's!
"Sorry" is just another word, but so are "sincere" and "disingenuous." Sometimes your "sorriest of words" falls off lips like a lead balloon, and less frequently it delivers at least some solace. It's when nothing is said that causes the greatest concern.
A self-written poem with the weight of empathy clinging to its intent. Perhaps your words will cause many to pause and consider.
Well done, Neville - Phil A.
Thank you Phil, I am truly both grateful and honoured by your visit and encouraging review comments...

It can be such a sad word when more should be said and done.
