Bread Of Remorse

Psychology write for a contest

Eat  thou not the bread of remorse

For its taste is bitter, tough, coarse

 

From many wrongs of yesterday

As it has aged, dried__ changed assays

 

Replays of when it was just baked

And of those whom heartbreak suffered

 

From puerile stunts and brainless words

Discord that filled that loaf's innards

 

Now moldy, indigestible

This bread remorse, abominable

Author's Note

Write for a contest which the subject psychology and the topic remorse was given to me.

Reviews

[ettorney]

Nice analogy for regret. Clever use of the poetic form to express what leads to remorse like mold on bread. Your first line is the best. Would like to see the rest written in that same liturgical style. Like a Bible passage in tone and syntax.

Nice write.

I like the wisdom in your words. The statements were strong and had purpose. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
