Sadness is a moment
A ripple in a pond
A wrinkle in time.
Sadness is a plague
From which you cannot hide.
Sadness is a desert
And is the ocean blue.
Sadness is a heart break
That cannot be fixed with glue.
Sadness is an empty space
From which some would die to escape.
Sadness is a blessing
That some receive too late.
Then again,
This poem is invalid
Because if we're being technical
Sadness is all about perspective.
Therfore,
Sadness is relative.
A ripple in a pond
A wrinkle in time.
Sadness is a plague
From which you cannot hide.
Sadness is a desert
And is the ocean blue.
Sadness is a heart break
That cannot be fixed with glue.
Sadness is an empty space
From which some would die to escape.
Sadness is a blessing
That some receive too late.
Then again,
This poem is invalid
Because if we're being technical
Sadness is all about perspective.
Therfore,
Sadness is relative.
I needed a drill to cure writer's block. I found a prompt on a website that said to write a poem in which ten lines start with "Sadness is..." I cheated and only did 8.
