by Geof the cheeky breakfast bard
I tossed some thoughts into the blend
A cup of hope, a half-wilted friend.
Banana peel of bygone days,
And berries bruised by wistful haze.
Almond milk of maybe-so,
A mango flash of long ago.
One dash of âshouldâve,â chilled regret,
A swirl of dreams not done just yet.
I stirred it once with quiet grace,
Poured in a smile, pulp to face.
Some leafy truths, still bold and green,
From tangled vines of might-have-been.
Then irony, that spry old spice,
Snuck in with âwisdom'sâ thin advice
âRegret's a flavour for the brave,
Served best in chalice we misgave.â
I shaved some ginger, sharp, sincere
To cleanse the gut of latent fear.
And as the final blend grew thick,
I sipped, then sighed, âThat did the trick.â
