Asking Poem by Deborah Cromer

Asking

Rating: 5.0


Without warning
There came a time
When all was shattered
By the righteousness of rhyme

Being careful, by what I ask
Faces revealed from under the mask
True pictures of what was lost
Friendship and trust pays cost

I asked you, I asked you
Please tell me, answer me true
I have no pain with her
You with honesty and truth, not pure

Selfish you are, not nice
Hurtful and dangerous as black ice
Your direction towards evil does pull
Be careful, be careful, be careful

A wonderful piece of work Deborah, I loved the repeats in the last line that serve to bind the work together. Best wishes, Andrew
