Guilt

Friends have right to expect warm calls from their friends

Sense of guilt haunts me

Have not said hello for long

Friends expect warm calls

The shortnesss of this poem is already on its own epitome. This is one thing to be proud of, Sir Zainul. Great job on using simplicity as strength and creating it as a piece that everyone would never tire to read. (:

I'm sorry for not always stopping by, I just stopped by now since I missed reading your works (:

Dear Rhianne,
I feel very blessed to have such great generous admirer of my work.
Never mind for not being able for stopping by frequently.
I understand that a dedicated poet like you has to perform many assignments.
Best regards,
Zainul

Your poem made me think about all the people who have passed through my life that I considered friends for a time but have somehow allowed to "escape." Perhaps most of us have the same sense of guilt expressed in your lines.

[zainul]

Thank you Sharon for the precious comments.
This means a lot to me.

I like the sweet message which these few words can express …lovely write…now a days life is so hectic that we can't buy proper time for our freinds…
I do agree with the writer valentine as well…this would might make it an impeccable haiku…thanks for sharimg it with us!!!

To rid thyself of guilt; forgive.

I enjoyed this and empathize with you about calling friends just to say hello.

[zainul]

Thank you dear friend for the great suggestion.
I feel very pleased that you empathized with me.
Thank you for stopping by.

If you would put "time" at the end of the second line..you would have one of those Japaneze poems..Nice one..Kathie

[zainul]

Thank you dear friend.
I will reexamine the piece to revise it.
Thanks for the precious contribution.

Lovely write true these days we get carried away with the business of life and forget warm hearted calls.

[zainul]

I feel very blessed by your precious words.
We become more business like,
But,forget to behave as humans.
In fact,the world truly appreciates humanity though life needs businesses.
Thanks for your generous review.

[Marie]

Yes they do expect calls...or at least e-mails...

[zainul]

That's right,dear friend.
I should return their love as soon as possible.
Thanks for stopping by.

It is good to recognize and admit when we are remiss in keeping in contact. Your friends are still waiting.....I encourage you to call them!

simply said beautifully written
guilt it is needed to be a great human being could you imagine a world guilt free
you always make me smile
sorry you feel guilty give your friends a call
thank you for sharing

[zainul]

Thank you Holly for stopping by.
I feel a sense of guilt for not attending my friends in their needs.
Sometimes,I become very selfish and just look at my interest.

[Holly Mason]

Sometimes we have to attend to our feelings or we will not be a good friend*)

[zainul]

That's right.
Friendship is mutual and an act of friendly gesture should be reciprocated properly.
Thanks for being so kind to express your thoughts so eloquently.

[Holly Mason]

Thank you for teaching me the proper way to spell-eloquently I will not forget*)

[zainul]

I feel very honored,dear friend.
