My Actions

Notice of absence from NinjaGirl
Hi everyone! I have been gone for a while, I don’t know if any of you all have noticed, but I apologize for not leaving a notice anyway. I will be gone for a while. I am not done writing poetry, and I have not given up. But I will be away for some time. I expect to return around 2028. Not sure if any of you guys will see this, but thank you for reading my poetry. Please do not worry, I will be okay! I look forward to returning!

It was only a strand of grass,

I thought

It would be nothing,

It was just

For fun;

I tossed it into the well.

Only minutes later

My friend came running

And wanted a drink.

I lowered the pail--

Fed it to them--

and

then

they

fell.

They couldn't breathe

And I realized

I had poisoned the well

And killed my friend.

    A metaphor of great power, guilt and unintended consequences. Lovely

    🥷, my friend… the innocence, the accident, the sudden grief… you wove all of it into this clean, devastating arc. It lands exactly the way it should. Very well done, as always, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

  • Friendship

    The poem revolves around the consequences of thoughtless actions and the heavy burden of guilt that follows. The poet explores themes of innocence, betrayal, and the unintended harm that can arise from actions taken without consideration of their potential impact.

      Yes precisely!
