No Favorites

I used to think I had favourites

but now I don't really mind

the one I think about most

is the one whose easiest to find

some of them stay longer

some of them leave fast

the one thing they all have in common is 

none of them ever last

this could allude to many things...but for me it is significant others...who have stayed a significantly short time ...especially the wives...oh well.
no favorites, just maybe relief they are gone...
and life is peaceful, at last. So I replaced an "ever last" with an "at last."
oh my i relate to this Laura.

That is amazing Jacob! I love your version with its more optimistic outlook. Thanks so much for reading

Since I went to high school in a small agricultural town (back in 1970's), most folks are rigid about their lifelong friendships -- it's impossible to elbow into these lifelong cliques. I, on the other hand, loved to ramble & met hundreds of new people, so your poem describes me. You make it feel like having "no favorites" is a good thing, not a problem! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

I'm a rambler like you Margie, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'm glad we found the silver lining to this cloud :)

I can see this as someone who indulges in too many hobbies, (thinking about myself). It also can be seen as ones weird evolving pandora station list. So many things, yeah. This poem is very relatable. Even if this reviewer misses the mark somewhat. Good work. CD
