A Silly Sombre Poem

A Silly Sombre Poem

It was on one Tuesday morning, I had some spare time,
So, began to write some poetry, a poem without a rhyme.
My composition was deep and dark, quite difficult to write,
Though I didn’t particularly like it, I knew someone who might.
Her name was doom and gloom, Worlds problems at her door,
As I continued to pen my words, mused who am I writing this for.
I tried a funny line to lighten it up a bit,
But didn’t really work, so I decided, get rid of it.
Feeling rather downhearted, I paused for a cup of tea,
In the hope of inspiration to revive my poetry.
Positive words are what I need to bring my work alive,
Then I wrote more sombre ones, my poem took another dive.
My heart felt so such sadness for the line that I just read,
It starts at the top of the hill and ends at the bottom lying dead.

This poem is having an adverse effect on me. Rather than dragging me down, I'm smiling with your efforts!
