Penitent (WOTDC)

~ JezzieG

Inspired by and written for the Word of the Day Challenge – my thanks to Kristian

Definition: Penitent – adj. feeling or showing sorrow and regret for having done wrong; repentant

Form: Cheuh-chu

A word means nothing
Without changing it
Making a wrong right
Even just a bit
So easy to say
But making it fit
Without changing tact
Sorry has no might

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.

    2. It’s the “sorry I didn’t mean it” that gets me – you know damn well they will just go do it again, so they did mean it and they sure ain’t sorry
