Now you have evaporated,
I can see markers clear as crystal,
so damn sparkly in retrospect.
Forgetting,
if you had added salt to the veg
was as small as any mistake
chalked up to forgetfulness.
By the time you taste it
you’re too late.
Now you have evaporated,
I can see markers clear as crystal,
so damn sparkly in retrospect.
Forgetting,
if you had added salt to the veg
was as small as any mistake
chalked up to forgetfulness.
By the time you taste it
you’re too late.

Ohhhh. Nice metaphor here, indeed! Well done.
I agree with De–excellent metaphor!
Deftly done!
So true. Resonates, these little mistakes that cannot be taken back. Well done.
yeah 😦 ~ kinda makes me sad…

Well done. You are so right. Salt after the fact is never as good as cooked in the food.
Oh this reminds me of a moment in the film Stranger than Paradise, when a character says “it’s ALWAYS too late” – so true Carol…
I came Carol, I read, great work my friend — but I am not well. Be back soon.
“clear as crystal,
so damn sparkly in retrospect.”
Ain’t retrospect something… nicely done, this poem!
You cannot take it back… so very true for many things.
