Insightful indeed. Beautiful rendition of words to utmost justice. Thanks for sharing Howard.
Howard, this is what poetry is all about. The freedom to write brutally honest poetry without any fear. I invite you and fellow poets to read Ode To Orlando. How one act of irresponsibility led to some very severe consequences. And the end result!
gee whiz! if i'd known this poem had so many comments already, i might not have read and commented! ! ! bri :) it must have been a poem of the day once. well, maybe not. over 8 years of comments, and i think you promote your poems. i'm glad i read the poem nonetheless! bri :)

I take responsibility for my life today Irresponsibility will never again hold sway- - - Inspiring and motivating to be resposible for our own action. Thanks for sharing.
Verily, irresponsibility is the source of failures and losses and should be discarded ASAP
Something that I can completely relate to. Thought-provoking. Lovely rhyme. And the ending note is full of optimism. Loved it.

Great open and honest poem, Howard. Reflecting on one's life holds many thoughts to be written into poems, showing us the path we have taken to maturity and growth.
Self-introspection has been so beautifully cited in the form of poetry is phenomenal beyond all doubt........Howard you are really outstanding
An apt title, a self analytical poem that ends with a positive note in the end. Simply wonderful! 'I take responsibility for my life today Irresponsibility will never again hold sway' - This firm resolve will inspire many to undertake similar resolute decisions in life. An honest and inspirational poem.
Ah but what pleasure to drift when all others are hauling such torments ;) pausing only to relieve a passing stranger of his pain.......
Howard, most of us have experienced irresponsibility, your poem remindes us not to go there again. Thanks for the reminder. Your friend Lynn
