CARELESS

Things get broken
Hearts
Minds
It's no-one's fault
It never is
Not really
Butter fingers and distraction
Without malice or forethought
Things 
Like hearts and minds
Slip
And shatter on hard contact with reality

Hi, Phil!
It's Richard here! : )
First, let me say, "Welcome to the site … I hope you will come to like it here as much as I do, and gain many friends and fans."

If this fine Free Verse is any example of what we can expect, I've no doubt you'll soon have a faithful following.
Your fellow-poet, Relic, recommended your poetry as the kind I would like, and he is certainly correct in that assumption … thank you, Relic!

How sad and true what you say so often is, Phil, I think it is all life makes of us that allows such to happen, and ohhh, how we learn … hopefully!

I thoroughly enjoyed the wisdom and understanding dancing upon the page in your poetic voice, and I most gracious thank you for the privilege of reading your pencraft! ⁓ Richard

(psst! "butterfingers" is a word … LOL!)
