Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?
COMMITTED
And I'm telling you right up front, fellow poets - this prompt comes from a very personal place. Today is my wedding anniversary. The Good Husband and I have been married for 32 years, an exclusive couple for 37. I know about long-term commitment.
On a completely different note, I've had the difficult responsibility of admitting a loved one to the psychiatric ward in order to avoid looming disaster. From this perspective, I know more than I ever wanted to know.
Committed. It's a past-tense verb meaning delivered, entrusted or institutionalized, or the act of having perpetrated a crime. Other synonymous terms include promised, pledged, relegated or delegated.
Committed is also an adjective that describes someone who is dedicated, attached, devoted, faithful, or one who is or has been institutionalized.
