Zero Tolerance – A Quadrille

It was hard, I admit
Forgiving your wrongs
With just a flick of my hand
As if they meant nothing
Excusing your rude behavior
And your cruel words
To friends and family
Who were left shell-shocked
From your explosions
Now I have zero tolerance

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

      1. YAY to no spam for me! I had a feeling you were going to say that because as soon as I replied to your comment, my comment did not immediately disappear. I was able to see it on my screen, and I knew I was not going to spam. Regarding this new person in spam, I think you have to inform Akismet again and hopefully it will work for them like it did for me. I’m very glad for you that this problem is finally getting resolved. 😊
