Daily Prompt: Lukewarm

Your attitude told me all that I needed to know when you halfheartedly

committed to the things we had to do that day.

Every little comment you said was just another way to get out of it.

You didn’t want to come but you did anyway and now I was becoming miserable too

but I fought through it so we could get this project done and then be able to go our separate ways.

As you drained yourself to every booth and didn’t say hi to anyone and then practically ran when it was over.

I just smiled and walked away because maybe one day you will wish you had just slowed down and appreciated the little things that happened that day.

  2. thereluctantpoet – It's Not For Fame And Fortune. That Comes From Being Known. The Reluctant Poet Writes To Give Words A Life Of Their Own. I have always written for the personal joy and satisfaction of bringing something into being. A similar feeling painters must feel when completing a painting. It's the process that mattered to me more than being thought of or known as a Poet. But having moved into the "Senior" check box category in life I have had an inner yearning to let my words have a life of their own apart from me and any reservations or reluctance I may have about "putting myself out there". I have been so blessed since starting to blog to have great Kindred Spirits - Singledust, DavyD, Sailorpoet, saynotoclowns and many, many others to share and enjoy this Wonderful experience. I love so much the warmth, caring and positive support from everyone that comes to visit, comments, follows me and of course "Chit, Chat". I have my Darling, youngest daughter to thank for getting me started in blogging. I had mentioned to her that I was wanting to see if there might be a way to get some exposure for my poems. In a couple of days she emailed me back and said, "You now have a blog - TheReluctantPoetWeb on Wordpress.com You need to start posting! I'm helping you face your fears by pushing you, so you can fly". I might still be in flight training but I'm off the ground! Ha! And to my Dear Friend Sailorpoet - I'm trying my best to become "The Unreluctant Poet". Thank you for coming by and please stop and visit!

    You really captured a universal experience so well. If I had closed my eyes and had you read this to me I would be seeing a lot of reruns in my head. It is a more considerate thing to be “somewhat” engaged in these situations though, isn’t it?

    Doing things we don’t really want to do is part of the deal. Most guys know this and have more skill at disguising it than the situation you describe. Most guys know you have to abide by the old cliche – “go along, to get along – to get the girl” – Ha! Or the other one “Happy wife, Happy Life”.

    Well done!
