a panacea
did present itself but oh!
what an aftertaste

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
I really enjoy the way that each of these is structured to have a sudden turn in the final line.
Thank you. I find I do that a lot, or at least I try for a conclusion, and I like it best when it is unexpected or makes you think “what???”
A great set!
Thank you!

That last one – Wow!
Thank you. Sometimes things that look good…are not so good, I think.
