Black Eyed Susan Poet Dizain

Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY:

I’d never considered killing myself,
Until I backed over my little boy.
I know I should think about mental help;
I break down when I see his untouched toys,
His baby pictures, note the absent noise.
Only three, he had hardly lived at all.
His life cut short, like a sudden dropped call.
Resentment’s an anvil in my wife’s eyes -
“Why weren’t you careful? It’s all your fault!”
The guilt’s SO Heavy…should I end my life?

                                             ----Sonless

Carolyn Devonshire September 12, 2011 at 2:57 AM Susan, I hope this didn't happen to your husband or anyone you know. What a terrible thing to try to live with. On an emotional field, you hit this one out of the ballpark. Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich September 8, 2011 at 11:08 PM Susan, this is quite a sad one. An you chose an interesting way to do it, as a letter to Dear Abby. Quite unique. what made you think to do one like this? I remember one time I did a triolet on a woman who ran over her child in her own driveway. It's strange how you and I are captivated by similar stories (did you get your story from the news? that is where I got mine) I'm glad I finally am seeing this one. where are you lately here at soup? Luv,Andrea
