Opportunity

This is for Carry On Tuesday
This week we have to use the title of the Abba song
Slipping through my fingers 


 

Opportunity dies
Slipping through my fingers, breaking
Fragments elude grip



If you like it please share it
Thanks

    I really like, "the breaking fragments." That phrase deserves a poem unto itself.

    That's a very good haiku, but I hate to be reminded of how many opportunities I have let slip over the years.

    I appreciate your attention to form, but hope the verse doesn't represent truth!
