Sorry!
You asked
and I said.
I said what
I meant.
You heard what
you thought,
But that
wasn't what I meant.
Sorry may be a casual word
But when it’s
the only one
It’s sorry
not anything bent.

This is my response to the Trifecta weekly challenge, which is to write a
33-word response, in addition to and preceding the following: “That
wasn't what I meant”

ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThe big communication gap between 'meant' and 'thought' is still raging. Nicely expressed , Shreya.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kalpana ... Glad you liked it ! :)
DeleteNo truer words spoken! Nice write! However for this challenge you had to use the prompt words at the end of your piece and give us the extra 33 preceding words. Thanks for sharing though!
ReplyDeleteOh my bad yet again though glad you enjoyed it Trifecta :)
DeleteI also thought that it was a nice write (you know, despite...) =)
DeleteThanks Troy ... Better luck next time ! Never a bad time to hear nice words though ! :)
DeleteAnd that's how the words get all tangled up...some u think they said...some they did say...
ReplyDeleteThe irony of communication or more like the misunderstanding ... sometimes unknowingly sometimes deliberate ! Thanks for stopping by Sini ! :)
DeleteI love the rhythm to this, the first four lines in particular. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYea I do too ... I wish I could make other too rhyme the same way too ! :)
DeleteGood piece. People often hear what they want to hear instead of what we say.
ReplyDeleteThe fact of life ... Thanks for stopping by Joshi ! :)
