    Trouble has a shelf-life. I love that line…and that truth. Lovely poem, Melody!

    Good to know about the shelf life. Some days you begin to wonder …

    At least you can make a sentence sound cool that ends in a preposition!

      HA! Rules are made to be broken, you know… 🙂

      1. Robert Rife

        Absolutely. Good writers do it all the time. They know how and when to break a rule to serve the higher good of the story or poem. You did that. Well, I think. (See what I mean)

    What a happy , smiley way to remind us that trouble has a shelf life. Is it a use by or best before date that we need to look for ;)?

      You mostly can tell by the smell that it has expired… hehe 🙂
