The score was four out of ten <br />But made up the rest up with charm <br />And topped it to a seven with manners <br />The two taken out for foolishness and dalliance <br /> <br />The remaining one, well let’s say...for room to grow <br />In all present and forecasted shortfalls….shadows and fear <br />whether from a one sided recount or reconciled account <br />Deficits and tears foreseen. Still we pursue <br /> <br />Yet so many have seen it before…game and bust! <br />Life happens, they said. Still they pursued <br />Then the wind came back, blowing holes <br />in pursuit bearing an evidential crown <br /> <br />18.01.10<br /><br />Sylvi Sylva<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/throwing-caution-to-the-wind-2/
