Some Sad Poems About Love
Reading sad poems about lost love can be a cathartic experience. Everybody has been "dissed" or, even more sadly, abandoned by unavoidable exigencies. It's like Plato said, we are all in this cave...
My Garden Fountain, plashing, wants to play
Petunias nod the dew away
A bumble bee makes social calls
A letter from the table falls
And casts a pall upon the scene
That just before was cool serene
With promises of healing rays
Abruptly covered by slate grays. *Note - For those who might reasonably imagine that "plashing" is a typo, I direct you to Emily Dickenson
How to Kiss Off Your Lover Dear John,
I guess that says it all.
-Jane
OR
Dear Jane,
I guess that says it all.
-John
Sentinel Sentinel of time
Old grandfather clock
Reminding me the seconds slip
As you will one day, from me
Or I from you
So please do not be angry
The little time we feast
Should be devoured as a
wet, ripe, cool, peach
on a hot, dusty, Georgia day. Some of you may recognize the influence of William Carlos Williams on this poem. He was snagging fruit in the fridge that his wife had plans for.
