Nothing saddens my heart more
Than a dog who eats my poem
And a tree that is burned down
And a cog that does not turn
Nothing saddens my heart more
Than a book that is sold cheap
And a cousin that is hurt
From the roof eager to leap
Nothing saddens my heart more
Than the earth so full of trash
And myself who is asleep
While the years moving like flash

Nothing saddens my heart more
Than a dog who eats my poem
And a tree that is burned down
And a cog that does not turn
Nothing saddens my heart more

And a cousin that is hurt
From the roof eager to leap
Nothing saddens my heart more
Than the earth so full of trash
And myself who is asleep
While the years moving like flash
In case you are wondering about the odd title and the unrelated lines in this poem: in the last day of National Poetry Month (NPM), valerie asks us to reuse lines from the different poems we wrote during the NPM. The result of this exercise was this poem that is like Frankenstein's Creature, a freak. If you want to know from were the different limbs (ideas) in this poem came from, please read my other poems.
Confession: I didn't use exact lines but only the topics that I was talking about in the other poems.
Here is the link to the last prompt in the NPM:
