This is from my latest book
"Stand beside me Danny Boy:
all poem titles is a song title of Daniel's
BURNING BRIDGES:
Too much water has flowed beneath the bridge,
To put many wrongs right.
I should have seen it coming sooner,
I should have seen the light.
Too much water has flowed beneath the bridge,
It's caused havoc and a high flood.
Neither of us were happy with each other,
If I could have repaired the situation then I would.
Too much water has flowed beneath the bridge,
Who knows perhaps it was too much rain.
If only I could turn the clock back,
To not have suffered so much heartache and pain.
I'm burning bridges.
All memories and thoughts of you out of my life.
All I can saywith great satisfaction,
Is, I didn't become your wife.

It is a clever way to incorporate the song titles within that made it into a great poem Yvonne!

I do so enjoy getting a song title and make a poem from it.
DeleteThanks Hank for you comment.
