Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
She was a beautiful damsel
Among all the damsels within
The neighborhood there is no
Iota of doubt about that
Many of the ladies wish
To be half as beautiful
As she was. This indubitably
Has entered her cerebral cortex
She was full of herself
She was placed in the
Category of the peacock by
Many people in the neighborhood
She thought they were jealous
Of her beauty and would
Not mind whatever anyone says
Concerning her actions within-without
For her pride, she could
Not easily come across a
Man, for no man wishes
To be involved with her
Any man who moves nigh
Her would be counselled against
Putting his neck in the
Snare being set by peacock
It is in the eyes of
Foolish birds that snares being
Set have no meanings but
The wise birds would be careful
Thus, men flee her like
Plague, for pride is like
A plague that could make
One live alone in wilderness
Pride makes good things far
From one, for deities also
Do not wish to be
Associated with pride people
If deities could distance themselves
From the pride, what shall
Mere mortal do if not
To separate themselves from
Such peacock like people.
Age was not on her
Side again, she seems as
If she has put up
New feathers humility quill
Then she met with this
Guy who signaled his interest
In her. Months have passed
That they have been seeing
But she was yet indecisive
Then approached her a woman
Who was not enjoying her
Husband and she talked to her
You should decide fast on
This guy, for him coming
To you should be considered
Rare privilege because he’s simple
If you wish to have a
Balanced home, a happy hubby
That would make you happy
I recommend him for you
Snarling back at her, I
Do not ask for thine counsel
If you are interested in
Him you can go ahead with him
Quite appalling she replied beautiful
One I know you neither ask
For my counsel nor my
Prayers in making your choice
It’s just that my character
Does not allow me to
See something good and not
Make comments about it
For your information, I am
The one the guy would
Have been married to, because
He strongly loved me but
I pushed him away by
My actions. It is the
Greatest of all errors I
Have ever made in life
And marrying wrong person is
The greatest error anyone could
Make in life. My experience
With my hubby shows this
I would have gone back
To him, infact, I lure him
To myself, but he said
He cannot be married to a divorcee
Assuming he can marry a divorcee
He would for long have
Leave you and would have been
Mine, ever in my arms
I do not want you
To cry in the future,
I do not want you to
Wish for death than being alive
For marrying a wrong person
Is hell on earth, marrying
An incompatible person makes one
Cry everyday without a comforter
This be thine time, do
Not let if pass you by
For if it passes you by
You may not see such again
The beautiful one could not
Speak again, other than looking
At her. She has missed
Her chance, it is now hers’
If she acts normal she
Would forever be in bliss
Martially speaking contrary to others
Posit that she would regret her life
I think I have played on
Him enough. It is time
To stop dilly-dallying, it
Is time to act, say “yes”

@BRENDA ARLEDGE Thanks for reading ma

One can feel the regret, but how sad to not be wanted as a divorced person.
Saying yes...if that's her true heart's desire.
