Clever time

I tried finding words in words.
you wouldn't hear an 'er' from nerds.

You can't take something back,
when someone's taken aback.

writing music about something you've done?
Remember there is 'a band' in abandon.

You can't please all
by being completely moral.

You drop a bomb
on my aplomb.

There's no lows, you see,
in an apology.

There's no end,
if you can make amends.

A parent never sways,
from assuaging.

  1. I like the word play here! Have another look at stanza 2 - does it need to be 'taken aback'? Can you shorten the line on stanza3? Great idea for a poem - if you could 'frame' it with a response to the first line, that might work well.
