Our host today for Day 29 of #VerseLove at http://www.ethicalela.com is Scott McCloskey of Michigan, who inspires us to rewrite the script of a time we wish we’d given a different answer. You can read his prompt and the poems of others here.
Kernels of Truth ten months after she died four months after he died you asked me what I thought of y’all and I told the truth you’re nice she’s nice but y’all don’t fit you thought it was that woman thing that I just didn't like her you had it all wrong there were those I thought would be a great fit for you readers travelers lovers of wine whose blood runneth blue this one wasn’t for you you’ve held my truth-telling against me all this time made me the unaccepting one and now after seven years of frustration figuring out discovering you finally realize all those reasons y’all don’t fit so next time I’ll tell the only truth you want to hear marry her then I’ll go make popcorn
