If Poe Was My Best Friend

As I write through the pain, this pen might as well be a razor blade
This sheet is sharper than a million paper cuts could have ever made
Thoughts dropping by the second faster than a guillotine's slayed
If Poe was my best friend, I'm sure he'd find these sentiments relayed
Rather than a fitting end, I'll just listen to the saddest songs ever played

Bill Baker Date: 6/16/2023 2:48:00 PM It's alright to feel the sadness when one loses a close friend and loved one, but only for awhile. Focusing on the sadness too long can lead to mistakes in a person's life. You have friends here at poetry soup, Anonomus. Many of us understand the feelings of loss. Blessing and soulful comfort to you, my friend. Bill p.s. I like your Monorhymes alot. Write On! Login to Reply

Gary Radice Date: 5/31/2023 10:37:00 PM Hi A.S. Ive just come across your work and greatly admire your use of monorhyme - it's not an easy form at all but it appears effortless to you. I really like this poem, sad and poignant as it is. You are so right with your advice to those who feel suicidal. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Anonomus Scorpio Date: 6/1/2023 7:35:00 PM Thank you for the overwhelmingly pleasant compliment regarding my monorhymes! A fellow writer on this medium pointed out the fact that I incorrectly label my work and that a great deal of it is in fact monorhyme a compliment to which I have ran with and truly enjoy the form. Respectfully A.S.

I Am Anaya Date: 5/31/2023 7:41:00 PM What are some sad favorites of yours A.S.? -curious.....back to ask need to talk?? Login to Reply Anonomus Scorpio Date: 5/31/2023 10:00:00 PM I'm all right Anaya. Just very sad over the loss of a fiery friend. Someone to whom I shared a great deal. A larger part of myself then I normally give up. So sweet of you to recognize that I perhaps needed a friend..... something I assure you I will not soon forget! With all my heart's respect. A.S. p.s.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 5/31/2023 7:10:00 PM Good and dark, with a crack that lets the light in (die hard Leonard Cohen fan here can’t you tell) enjoyed this very much. I picture Poe and Cohen having tea together in poet’s heaven. No stranger to suicidal ideation but still kicking (and punching) ;), Write on dear poet! xomo Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 6/1/2023 8:48:00 PM I am so sorry about your friend, such a sadness to lose a friend in such a way, I can’t help but think that their’s and your own sadness kind of become one and the same in a way, but only you are left to feel it. Virtual hugs your way. Anonomus Scorpio Date: 5/31/2023 9:56:00 PM O Mo I have missed you my friend! Good it is to have you back! ;) just a moment of sadness that brought this one out over a loss of a friend. Truly appreciate you reading it! With overwhelming respect. A.S.
