Sorrow's Drink

A good one to show the emotion of sorrow! I liked the reference to nine lives.

Joseph, you could teach us a few things about writing poetry. Don't underestimate your talent. There was a good reason your poem ranked first in my last contest. I saw fresh, incredible talent and deep emotion. I was struck by it as soon as I read it and immediately it rose to the top. Love, Carolyn

I must tell you there have been so many diverse poems shared here at PoetrySoup yesterday and this morning that I am just now being able to read. Each one is a treasure to the poet who wrote it. It is a pleasure to me to be able to read them. I am so happy yours was among the ones I have read today Joseph. Love, Carol

Sometimes when we're really depressed, we feel like we're losing our minds, Joey. Don't go banking on death's door anymore, though. We'd like to keep you around for a while. Compelling poem. Love, Carolyn
