Pay At Your End

#1 Post by meenas17 » 22 Oct 2019, 15:50

the words written
in the post script
of the same letter
I posted. A comeback

I read my letter,
a simple demand
to pay a few hundreds
to an association.

to my sibling,
not a help anyway,
a 0.0001%
I hold in the business.

Those four words
sound command -like,
express scorn, reward
for being a sleeping partner,

for twenty or so years,
Legal action follows
a winding up, a strike off
happens all to soon.

nice flow, meenas. two nits: "command-like" is a combo word, it takes a dash.
the other, "twenty and so years" reads better as "twenty or so years".
