So Much Depends

withrealtoads Fireblossom Friday: The Red Wheelbarrow
“So, your challenge is to write a new poem with the opening “So much depends upon….” and take it from there. That’s it! No haiku.”

 

So much depends on

a stitch, a nail, a link

as we rely on them

to do as they should

So much depends on

trust, a promise, a contract

to be what they pledge

and yet, you so readily fail.
