PASSED CHANCE

 

That girl seemed

to want to get

to know me

but I was busy

writing a poem

that wasn’t that good

anyway

and that

I will always hate

because

of the opportunity

it cost me

 

She was sweet

and now she’s gone

I cast dejected glances

at a few poorly written words

on a college ruled sheet

 

I coulda done better

no doubt about that

This poem is very effective

This poem is very effective in describing the sense of loss, and makes it feel presently immediate although set in the past.  Excellent work1
