Sad Poems
Gone Fishin'
by Delmar Pepper
I've finished life's chores assigned to me,
So put me on a boat headed out to sea.
Please send along my fishing pole
For I've been invited to the fishin' hole.
Where every day is a day to fish,
To fill your heart with every wish.
Don't worry, or feel sad for me,
I'm fishin' with the Master of the sea.

The Bell
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love thy music, mellow bell,
I love thine iron chime,
To life or death, to heaven or hell,
Which calls the sons of Time.
Thy voice upon the deep
The home-bound sea-boy hails,
It charms his cares to sleep,
It cheers him as he sails.

Back To the Start
by Aleah Harrison
I pinned my head against this wall,
starting to question where things went wrong.
People beginning to be ripped from my life,
without leaving a single trace why.
Just when I felt myself begin to heal again,
my emotions came down like father with the airmen.
Along with mother also gone,
and no one to care for sister Caroline,
I felt myself start to lose my mind.
And with the boy I thought things were forever,

Still Falls The Rain
by Dame Edith Louis Sitwell
Still falls the Rain---
Dark as the world of man, black as our loss---
Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails
Upon the Cross.
Still falls the Rain
With a sound like the pulse of the heart that is changed to the hammer-beat
In the Potter's Field, and the sound of the impious feet
On the Tomb:

Elegy (Tir'D With The Busy Crouds)
by James Beattie
Tir'd with the busy crouds, that all the day
Impatient throng where Folly's altars flame,
My languid powers dissolve with quick decay,
Till genial Sleep repair the sinking frame.
Hail kind Reviver! that canst lull the cares,
And every weary sense compose to rest,
Lighten th' oppressive load which Anguish bears,
And warm with hope the cold desponding breast.

Rose-Colored Glass
by Jillian Mueller
Love for you stings, sharp and unwanted—
not by your actions,
but the quiet, aching knowing
you’ll never be mine to hold.
Your absence echoes through the silence,
but when you return,
time holds its breath.
I replay our moments—
a broken record,

Adrift in Your Indifference
by Jillian Mueller
I trace the cracks within myself,
yet find none upon you—
Your skin, a barren canvas,
untouched by time or flaw,
While mine, a weathered map,
etched by stares that linger too long.
You label yourself two-faced,
but I only set eyes on one
side of the wall.

Ode
by Omar Chohan
Your eyes fill with tears, when she leaves
A person who is near to your heart
But think, for her it is but a new start
She leaves but remains in our hearts forever
Her smile, her humour will forever stay
In our hearts, our minds, our thoughts each day
You miss her, you sigh, take a deep breath
But don’t cry
Don’t fill your eyes to the brim with tears
Hold the dew in, don’t lose your smile

Dreadful Dreams
by Somali Mukherjee
Trying to survive,
I began dreaming each day;
That tore me apart.
