regrets

A Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)
"

hate regret hate the word waste of useless time need to learn from my regrets

"
I regretfully regret
I despondently regret
I dutifully hereby regret
I heartfeltly regret
I deeply regret
I hatefully regret
I honestly regret
I justifiably regret
I lovingly regret
I do regret
I regret having to regret
these regretful thoughts
that plague my mind

I sadly regret
having to regret
the regretful regrets
that undeniably
i do regret
regret is a waste of time
i regretfully say to myself
each time i
sadly regret
its a regretful waste of time
regretting
i do admit that regretfully

Ill regretfully sign off
and hope I will never regret
never saying the word
regret ever again

goodbye regret
goodbye regretful thoughts
you waste of regretful time
so in your regretful absence
goodbye regret!!!!!!

you r welcome
Hahaha! Loved it. Reminds me of Victorian era regret-fullness. One of my regrets is that there is so much wonderful poetry on Writers Cafe that I can't find time to enjoy it all. I will be returning to your contributions.

It's strange, but it's usually other people who regret on your behalf.
We regret we can't offer you the position at this time.
I regret going for that position.
Yeah, regret is a waste of time.

An army of regrets that you have ordered not to return. I like the way you approached this and I am also pleased that your poem ended on an uplifting note. Quite difficult to move from a negative state of mind to a more positive outlook. Needs much practice.

You are welcome Juliespenhere.
You have managed to use the word "regret" in so many creative & expressive ways, in the end, we are FREAKIN' SICK OF REGRET!!! (I'm guessing this might've been your devious plot!) I also hate regret. It's a total waste of time. You illustrate the way it takes over our thinking & eventually our lives. We become what we think about & here you show how this curse can blot out so many possibilities life might have in store. Thank you for putting the FUN back into this regrettable curse *smile* Fondly, Margie

Hi thanks for your lovely review Margie
The last verse saved this one for me. Up until then I was feeling a powerful compulsion to play an Edith Piaf CD.
