Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Inside His Gloomy Garret

Inside his gloomy garret he thought of each old dream.
How miserably he’d failed with each crazy half-baked scheme.
Embittered he had grown from his every circumstance.
How he loathed his wife, whose only longing was romance!
She had loved him (rich or poor) and that had been no help.
She lay dead near him. In his ears echoed her last yelp.
His final thoughts of anyone were quite uncontrite.
Just one bullet left. A single gunshot sliced the night!

Lindsay Laurie October 31, 2020 at 3:58 PM Hello Andrea - this poem is so spooky, particularly because it is true to life and is happening more than we realize. You have certainly written this well Andrea - Lindsay

Blessings, Jennifer. Andrea Dietrich October 30, 2020 at 11:16 AM you are half right. But he committed suicide because he hated his life (sometimes these selfish bastards take others down with them)
