Someone Is Glad

so happy you cad
       taking delight that i’m sad
          just shows i’m as bad
     laughing that your being had
   or maybe we’re both plain mad

Hi David, This is a good take on the contest theme. Great rhymes as well. Best wishes in the contest. PS, I wrote a poem for the contest too. Not sure if its correct, but I enjoyed writing it. Have a great day;-)Alexis

Thank you Alexis, I was trying to fit in some juxtaposition, as requested by sponsor, not glaringly obvious, but it’s definitely in there, cheers David

No one can be good if someone is miserable unless he is really rotten to the core and heartless. So impressing Tanka David, I like the rhythm too. Great job, best wishes for a win

Hello Lasaad, and thank you for the visit, people do get off on others misery, sometimes people think they are better than others, but it is like you said heartless behaviour, my paradox here is I’m happy at the cad being found out, making me just as bad, for taking pleasure, cheers David
