Notes About The Poem

An extended version of my "Sentry for Sadness" from the contest "Senryu for Sadness " by Laura Loo.  

Senryu For Sadness Extended

Ecstasy gone 
Sun fades, embracing darkness,
Cradling the madness

Rope on demijohn
Clotted narcotic crassness
The chimney warmth, gone

The abandoned skin
Thoughts dressed in nothingness 
Eternally gone
