Low Hanging Fruit

Low Hanging Fruit

A Poem by Sami Khalil

Low Hanging Fruit      by Sami Khalil

Thoughts on failure and success in relationships.


An English Sonnet...


There is deafness in the air that lingers

Calling out things left between us unsaid

Paying no mind to me, pointing fingers

Had I gone to great lengths, failing instead.

 

Failure needs neither speech nor ears to hear

Only dreamscape statues to behold thus

What a stranger who bounces back from fear

Whistle and walk like a hero, nonplus.

 

Hold your breath through the canvas of the night

Confident the briny tears shall avail

I ponder words that bind some beings tight

Leaving indentations of sketchy trail.

 

There is no pleasure in low hanging fruit

Fondly praised are the wins in earned pursuit.

What a well written piece. The cadence is fantastic, and it helps move us through your emotions. I’m currently in a situation that reminds me of this, so I find it really relatable. Great work.

commercial opportunities sponsored by a reality outcome. many attempts from the personal vault. the determining value is it reproduced or genuine? in any case loyal spirits of the past dance forever.

Low-hanging fruit might be easy to grab, but it doesn't mean it's the sweetest or the ripest!

Lovely work. Thank you for sharing!

I agree wholeheartedly dear poet and friend; you have said the truth. Thank you kindly for sharing.
There's no such thing as success unless you've worked for it and earned it. Wise words, Sami.
Life is happier when we've earned our rewards.
