    The Leading Lady

     Watching an old movie and struck by the actor's lines
    Words that seemingly ring true to past love designs

    As I continue to watch the scene alone in my head
    Cuddled with blankets in my overstuffed platform bed

    Could I not deny; the well-planned outcome to each great love-affair
    "Always the friend, never the leading lady." - this program line did declare

    The phase is indeed true ... I am the lady they seem to dismiss
    I guess I'm racking up the friends as we all continue to reminisce

    Hi K -- Thank you for your comments and you were right a enjoyed your poem "Broken Candy Wrapper". An entertaining read!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
