kismet

on fate and the like

kismet --
did she
hear it,

feel it,
when their
lips met?

fate,
destiny,
impossibility --

if two wrongs
don't make a right,
perhaps it takes three.

Succinct & to the point but with a subtle twist methinks, of course menage a trois is something most of us guys have thought about from time to time, there is just not enough folie a deux in this world for my liking.

Ding Dong, brought it on.................N

Well, that wasn't really where this was going, but thanks for the interesting leap.

Nice use of thoughts and words. I will research and find the video.

The test of life. Wrong or right.? We must taste sweet wine to find peace. Thank you for sharing your outstanding poetry.

Thank you for visiting.

You are welcome dear friend.

"kismet..." kiss met... "lips met..." such wondrously subtle rhyme and structure going on in this one, K.L. As to your proposition -- third time's a charm? I think, "perhaps" is as close to the truth as one can ever get. Just jump in and see! Lovely bit of writing... JKB

Wow. You get it on all counts. With the form and rhyme and word play and meaning. Thank you for the insightful review.

Do the right thing can feel wrong and doing the wrong thing can feel right, we never know until we feel the aftershock of our actions.

[Lyn Anderson]

Right and wrong are sometimes relative to the situation. Thanks for stopping in.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, sometimes two wrongs put together make a baby wrong...

[Lyn Anderson]

Interesting perspective. Thank you.

Call it fate, destiny, some things are just meant to be. One of my favorite country songs, from 20 years ago, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncXc0n4J8Lc
Maybe it does take three tries.

[Lyn Anderson]

Who knows. And thanks for the song suggestion
