Disappointment

~

 

Disappointment rains

 

as dark clouds look down

 

finding me

 

without an umbrella,

 

standing in a puddle

 

of my own stupidity

So much darkness in few words ... the power of brevity! Sometimes we are the cause of our own disappointment and sadness but it is also up to us to come out of this discouraging drought. Nothing is permanent. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed the read!

[willweb]

Thank you so much. I am happy you enjoyed this.

[Aura]

You are most welcome!

Sensing the disappointment here. Quite a dark write for you will. A little bit of brevity which says a lot. I think we have all been there at times. All the best.

Thank you Chris.

Been there, still doing that.... and sometimes poetry has its uses!

[willweb]

Thanks my friend.

I love the imagery of this piece and it’s so relatable. As I finished the last line I thought “yep, been there”! Wonderfully written.

[willweb]

Hey, thanks so much Dilan. I am so happy you stopped by but sorry you could relate to this. I do appreciate your time

[Dilan Gray]

You’re so welcome!

Such a dark feeling I get here...As if drenched in despair. Also, angry with oneself. Such effective visuals created, dear Willweb.

[willweb]

Thank you Divya...just counting reads to views.

Another great title for this one would be "how it feels to be me" but the me should just be a bunch of dots and in parenthesis beside it, should say (inser own name) 😊
The amount of umbrellas I own, in a country known for its rain and yet I still come to the conclusion I'll look like an idiot carrying it around all day if it doesn't rain. And standing in a puddle of your own stupidity is a good look to rock?.
They say we're a complex bunch, us men... But I bet you it was a guy who said it. We're eejits, plain and simple! 😊

[willweb]

Yep, it seems that there are a ton of sayings and creative word collections that men can easily wear around their necks on big gold chains and still, very few learn anything from it. Thanks my friend.

Just because some people are blind, doesn’t mean your light doesn’t shine. ( keep the umbrella in the car) 😉

[willweb]

Thanks Susan. That made me smile. I do keep one ion the car (truck) but got caught away from my vehicle. : )

I think I've been to this location. As learning is absorbed, though, visitations tend to decline.

[willweb]

Perhaps but when does the dark cloud dissipate?

[Dave Brown]

And quite likely no rubber boots
Some people just never learn

[willweb]

Yep, and I'm one of them.
