2 Late 2 B. Concerned

I passed the point

Of no return

Long before

I ever learned

Just how badly

It could burn

Now it's too late

To be concerned...

The river's been turned

the tide turns so quickly in Poker and in life...the river reverses course and we drown in the consequence.
Always appreciate the slant rhyme and how you use it.

Thanks. Not sure when this kind of rhyme became the way I write, but I enjoy it.
