life squandered

I haven't done a senryu in a while.

lived in apathy
your gifts are wrongly squandered
soul withers and dies

Reviews

[Rene Salinas]

And then those who try and try and never get where they think they should so they stop bothering and stop wishing. Apathy is such a easy thing to feel. Indeed it feels as if the lack of caring becoms a form of death.

Thank You.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Rene, your thoughts are always appreciated.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Said so much in this one... Makes one think about what they might be letting wither away. Thought provoking and wonderful write!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks as always.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

when we don't care, we don't dare.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, and I suppose it doesn't matter then to the person who does not.

[Matching Socks]

Sometimes that fire goes out and it's hard to get it back.
Shame to see talented wasted. Great little Senryu KL

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, yes, far too many people rely on talent and intelligence. Without ambition, they go to waste.

[Lydia Shutter]

Nothing as wasteful as allowing the soul to die. It needs to flourish. Apathy erodes the spirit if you ask me. So much said in three short lines, KL. Good one.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you Lydia. I know many people who are gifted and talented and have allowed themselves to deteriorate in apathy.
