Where Melancholy Mingles

I suppose there’s always good reason to cry sadness never has a tough time making friends ominously, this dark acquaintance often approaches lending water for eyes to cry I suppose there's never better time than now to moan grunting and moaning are long lost relatives miserably, feeding off each other dragging stragglers along for the ride to moan I suppose anxiety needs a moment in the sun to worry flipping, tossing, in a cerebral ceremony fidgety anxiously twitching as everyone quickly moves to worry I suppose there's no harm in a little dishonesty to lie while thieves join the party deceptively a terrible tandem of dirty deeds and tendencies to lie I suppose everyone has the ability to struggle with adversity, where melancholy mingles blatantly crying, grunting, and moaning anxiety moves in permanently to struggle and I suppose, there's a heavy dose of negativity to digest mixed with stress continually it may lead to one hell of a nasty mess to ingest © 2011 ~JSLambert Esquire

All that negativity builds up to one huge awful turmoil, Joey. I love how you control your poetry by patterning it into stanzas. Seems like free verse to me and it wasn't until recently I learned the meaning of lyric verse meant "emotions of the poet" Before that I just thought it meant lyrical! Again, I am happy to see such an intelligent poet at the Soup. And yes, it is so true. The one negative on rhyme is that it does not allow for deep emotion.

Very thought provoking poem you have here, JS-- I think misery does love company... and as for writing tetractys, I think kids would find it quite easy to do (depends on age of course; I suppose kids aged 7 onwards would be ok)-- you teach kids? Maybe you can start them with a Single tetractys, it has 5 lines having syllables of 1,2,3,4,10 OR inverse-- 10,4,3,2,1 -- maybe you can try it with them :D --tell me if you do :D enjoy your day!

Reading another poem , strong feelings straight from the heart. true shouldn't let negativity build up,,my theory if there's grief and sorrow(how can that be avoided in life, an integral part),,fix a time limit ,brood as much as you want to..then time over move on ,,,with a smile!!! smiles to you, what's your name may I ask...Lambert??

Lies and other sources of negativity surely do lead to a "nasty mess to ingest," Joey. Powerful writing here! Love, Carolyn
