Flushed – A Quadrille

Posted byChristine BoltonPosted inBlog, Quadrille

Flushed

The light
left her eyes
unnoticed
His indignation
was center stage
It no longer mattered
who was right
or wrong
A joust for power
Oxygen feeding
the fire of dysfunction
A lifetime of giving
her everything flushed
away in one push
of a button

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  10. You covered a lot of territory in 44 short words. Well done! I liked “a lifetime of giving flushed away” … so often happens.

    1. You are very kind Rita. Thank you. Is the type of plan I have it does not allow for a reblog button. Oh well … you could always share the link I suppose. I appreciate your good words. 🥰
