Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Oh Woe Is Me

Oh woe is me.
Life is bad.
Things are horrible.
I live in pure sad.

I drag my lethargic body
Through mire, muck and mud.
Down in the mouth always,
A true Elmer Fudd.

All things are terrible.
I feel ugly and sick.
You cannot help or uplift me.
My brain skull is thick.

I focus on all bad things I know.
Life is full of meaningful powerful woe.
Oh woe is me. The days are brutally long.
Come back here, I want to sing my death song.

In spite of your realization, there is simply no gray.
Life is horrible and bad, ridiculously ugly and sad. 
My friends are all gone, they have all run away.
In my world anyway, things are awful and bad.

Andrea Dietrich July 4, 2020 at 8:39 PM I know someone who talks this way a lot and it's such a sad thing. Anyway, I came to see this because the title is so enticing. You always have such clever titles and poetry, Caren. Wish I could repay you for seeing so many of my poems recently and leaving your nice comments. My mom is in town and I put her on Netflix with Pursuit of Happyness. So it's not fair I stay here catching up with so many poets. I will maybe never see my mom again when she returns to iowa!! Woe is me, Corona!! happy 4th Caren Krutsinger July 4, 2020 at 11:02 PM I am so glad that she is there - from Muscatine? Tell her "hi" from another Iowan!

Kim Rodrigues July 4, 2020 at 3:11 PM A whole box of tissues on your doorstep, friends from lala land (because they don’t need to wear masks), a sky filled with faeries. Hugs! Caren Krutsinger July 4, 2020 at 11:02 PM Thank you my friend Kim. I appreciate you stopping by! I am so pleased. I feel a bit smug.

Rico Leffanta July 4, 2020 at 1:42 PM The truly sad part is I know too many people just like that! Aloha! Rico Caren Krutsinger July 4, 2020 at 11:04 PM I do too, and I run from them as if a hungry passel of bears is after me.
