Dotting Laureate

1 fine day an erstwhile aspiring
dotting poet laureate

Overcome by inner torment and
habitual thought

This ditty came to wrote

When 1 finds the sun behind
sadly no longer way out in front

Ever so steadily warming one's back 
and dirty neck 

And so too the torrent of regret
that makes 1 fret the splinter creaking
wooden board's under foot

Beware and very mindful to watch 
out for the gap's as you step

Because it's easy to fall through
the crack's

And it's a long old way back up as
there are as many stairs to climb

To find yourself right back where
you began 

Realizing you have reached your
ceiling and have finally attained
your level

And the only thing awaiting 
after that 

Is an untimely death

Hopefully then followed by an 
everlasting eternal peace at last
