Unwanted Boomerang

Unwanted Boomerang

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey
"

Freeverse

"
Smiles are in limited rotation
On the roll call of good deeds
My name was missing
So in the cavern of fools
I am forced to dwell
To my left 
The table of regrets
Is set
There is a vacancy
Set up for me but
My eyes don't move
My feet are numb
To the situation
As I am
Sitting on 
The rock of
Intolerance and
Indignation 
I am
Staring down 
At the valleys
Of indifference and
Condemnation
Hearing the echoes
Of my failures
Pressing against my
Restless discontentment
Just to have
My disappointments
Returned to me
Like an unwanted
Boomerang

I love the different fonts of:
Indignation
Condemnation
Restless Discontent
My disappointments.

Those lines create the tone and could be a poem in their own write. what sticks out for me is "hearing the echoes of my failures" Isn't that so true for all of us. Wow, we have to live with them and they tend to keep coming back.

We all have those valleys and losses from failures or lost chances. It is part of life and maturing. An excellent write, sir...:)...................

Regret can devour a soul.

And emotion is the appetizer.
