One Letter

I sit in my garden, most forlorn, with tears in my eyes this froggy morn. I wish I could make you feel better. What a difference it makes, one letter. I look up from your unhappy mail. My tears fall, freeze, and I see...a snail. I wish I could look down that country lane and see the sun in your smiling face again, but I see dark clouds, and I see pain.

starts almost funny with “froggy morn” then saddens in the end. I’m a fan of your unusual poetry!!

Thanks, that's nice to hear, Kim! I was a bit all over the place with this, mixing funny, with serious, couldn't quite tie it together.
