Rear-ended
by proverbial truck
Unexpectedly, I claim
denying accountability
Sure, I took chances
crossed the line
Rebelliously ignored
limits, road signs
Driven by compassion
open-doored willingness
Saw the danger too late
swerving only mitigated damage
Humiliated by the impact
reckless ego smarting.

No risk, no reward, or?

Nice little piece. And I adore the image you’ve used here. Is this something you painted or a Lightroom-enhanced photo? Either way it’s very cool. I love it!

Perhaps, we bite off more than we can chew but hopefully, only a temporary setback and the rewards will be abundant.

Isn’t it the truth, we don’t always heed the warning signs because we’re having such a good time.

Sometimes, we just, need to, take the, chances as they, presented themselves to us, to, live with, no, regrets.
