Would It Have Made A Difference? Poem by Linda Ori
Would It Have Made A Difference?
If I had pursued you more aggresively?
If I had slept with you on the first date?
If I had not asked about your family?
If I had not fixed your collar that was askew?
If I had not brushed the eye lash off your cheek?
If I had not made you chicken soup when you were sick?
Would it have made a difference
If I had been younger, prettier, sexier?
If I had not wanted you to have feelings for me?
If I had not cared about your health?
If I had not invited you over for the holidays?
If I had not put notes on your windshield?
If I had not cried when you hurt my feelings?
Would it have made a difference?
If I had not gone to breakfast with you every weekend?
If I had not been jealous of other women in your life?
If I had not loved your daughter like one of my own?
If I had not listened to your problems over a beer?
If I had not enjoyed drinking wine with you?
If I had not gone to Disneyland with you - twice?
If I had not fallen in love with you
Would it have made a difference?
Linda>>>Pristinely constructed Work, my dear...The structure alone, along w/ its complimenting graphical stanza dividing, is a work of premium quality....Ahhhh, but that true grit Oriesque delivery, places the proverbial Cherry on top! In all, a solid iron-clad fine piece of Literary Craftsmanship''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''FRANK/FJR
Only a woman could have written this, a shopping list of questions neatly laid out and well crafted without answers.
Oh the 'what ifs' of life.... this is an interesting piece Linda and I like the format of the work. Of course we'll never know the answers to those kinds of questions and things were meant to be the way they turned out perhaps.... intriguing! ! And good! ! Bob
Clear implication here Linda: you suspect you were wasting your time. But, importantly you won't be the one looking back and thinking 'I wish I had done this or that'. You went the extra mile I would say. And for some men (the kind you're better without! ?) , that's probably a mistake! A very inventive piece of poetry. Effective structure and highly digestible. Also a heartfelt plea for understanding in love! You're a very persuasive advocate on behalf of real, worthwhile love.xx jim
Your have structured this portrait of regret very beautifully and given the reader just enough information. Your sensitively drawn images are very moving and the question you leave unanswered works... love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
