is not being able
 to hold  It in arms
nor have it in memory...

The only thing sadder
than a bottle of whiskey
drained of its last dram is 
a poet deserted by his muse....

Run or die
  Faster, faster
The will to run wanes

Write or die
  Poem after poem
Though I'm ever sadder...

It was a sad day in May
When you went away
Sadder in June
When you came home too soon.
To find April
In the shower.

nothing sadder than
a child who has been disappointed
by a parent

nothing more important
than a sincere apology
if that parent is you...

The tighter I curl, the more open I feel,
The looser your grip, the tighter the seal.
The harder I cry, the sadder I seem,
The better I lie, the more truth is seen....

It is a sad song
When writers don't write
And a melancholy thing when singers
Don't raise their voices in song
And a much sadder song when
One's lover is gone.

I've learned one thing in life that I'd like to share with the hope that you'll never forget.
There's probably no sadder an emotion to experience than the emotion known as regret....

i recently befriended
her
and that might have been one of my biggest mistakes
because now i see why she's so great
and i realize now why you chose her
and i can't help but feel even sadder...

It is a sad song
When writers don't write
And a melancholy thing when singers
Don't raise their voices in song
And a much sadder song when
One's lover is gone....

There was a young girl named, Anheuser.

Wouldn't heed, when folks would advise her!

        Her and Pabst, took a chance,

         had a whirlwind romance,

and now they're both, sadder, Budweiser!...

133
That's were I aspire to be
Its at the top of the ladder
Makes others feel sadder
At the though of being second
Slowly realising an average score beckoned
And to sum 133 up
Its now time for me to shut up...

a sea of luscious buds -
pink promises
ready to burst into bloom.

That night,
the freeze came,
withered the petals
to shriveled brown remains

But is this sadder
than never to have budded
at all?

Today is Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for?
I'm thankful for my health, my cats and more.
When we think of stuff to be thankful for, it makes us happier instead of sadder.
Don't eat too much turkey or you'll get fatter....

Just stagger and swagger Myself onto a Dagger
Always makes me more the madder-
And my Mother none the sadder
Still I hear her softly crying,
All the while our Souls are sighing
In heavy breaths, so close to Death-
Upon the minutes dying......

Sadder, but wiser.
Shackled, chained, beaten.
House of pain, feeding.
Ten more seconds, just ten more.
Countdown…3…2…1…
There will be no more crying.
No tears, sun shining.
Rays of light, rays of hope.
3…2…1…



No more tears



No more…...

Blues good if in that mood,
but music is so free
better to pick country,
because sadder stories
bring hope to the hopeless.
Buck right up with jazz then
boogie with Bob Marley.

There's nothing worse than hogging the scene
It's even sadder that they have to be mean
     To be seen and not heard
     Is the truest of words
It's even worse when they turn a dull green

Blues evoke emotions
Blooms of secular folk
Born of toil and work songs
Blend of lyrics and notes 
Base in pitch makes sadder
Beats got faster and hailed
Best of music genres

I don’t know what to say
But by venting I feel better
Maybe a bit sadder
That my life has come to this
But I can move on to happier days
And I will find one way
To make this poetry pay
And I will be recognized
For all that I have done
All this poetry for no one...
