PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is soft sadness

like neglected lace

crumbling to dust.



There is hard sadness

like once-worshiped toys

relinquished to rust.



There is sweet sadness

like crocuses spearing

lethally late snow.



There is bitter sadness

like puberty

pruning sopranos.



There is bearable sadness

like the inevitable

end of autumn.



There is unbearable sadness

like parents choosing

a child’s coffin.



There is passive sadness

like the little larcenies

of time.



There is belligerent sadness

like fat fledglings

forced to fly.



There is sane sadness

like forest fires

creating collateral.



There is insane sadness

like enduring love

that’s unilateral.

_



There is an encyclopedia of sadness

detailing twenty years of damage

that I promise henceforth

will read to your advantage!
