This is my first attempt at writing a Three Word Wednesday poem. I enjoy writing challenges and this was a pleasure to write and surprisingly swift. I look forward to returning in the weeks to come and supporting the other poets who write there.
With each tug
You drain me
Your epic
Commitment to
Being in pain
Nibbles at my
Devotion to you
Making it so much
easier to
Say…. I made
a mistake….
I've always felt like a caveman when it comes to poetry, so I'll just say that I liked this.

Nicely done for your first 3ww. It's always fun, and a good challenge, here.

Proving that simplicity can be perfect eloquence!

you've captured some pain and unrest here simply and elegantly.
Welcome to 3WW and I hope you'll come around and be a regular. And, tell you friends. We're always looking for more fun.

This is short and sweet, you say a lot with a little. I enjoyed it.

A mistake indeed! You must try the far more formidable Chicken format.
