This little poem is about a specific time and place in my memory, but can apply, I believe, to almost any relationship between two people.

he was right
and I was wrong
so I might
forever long
to turn the clock
to right the wrong

A universal feeling, for sure, Kay.
Ha, I think this might be a kind of universal sentiment. I hate when I say something I regret later.
Timing is everything! This is certainly relatable.
Short and universal. Well done. k.
How about
I was right
and he was wrong...
:)
You're absolutely right! I've been known to put my foot in my mouth too many times to count.
oh a tongue twister to boot!
Oh ,yes.. too many such instances to count on one hand, but all too human to dwell on past mistakes, rather than accepting them as part of the journey.
I am not much of a poetry person, but this is one I truly like.
This makes me think of the old joke: if a man says something in the forest, and there is no one there to hear him, is he still wrong?
My, I have been there. My clock would have to be rewound on several things.
Brilliant little snippet of a poem!
It is what is NOT said that is so powerful.
How does it feel to be right? We know what it feels like to be wrong.
The brevity is so right for this piece...directly and beautifully stated.
