DEEP DESPAIR

I am happy to be joining Saturday Centus at Jenny Matlock’s Off on My Tangent again this week.  The prompt is “Dear John”, and the word limit is 60!!  And I thought the100 word limit was difficult!  (I think I may have an extra word in my little contribution this week!  Please don’t kick me out!)  I am seldom serious about anything, so I hope that you will accept my little contribution as a joke.   I am not a writer, much less a poet, and I certainly wasn’t striving to be the next Poet Laureate!   

DEEP DESPAIR

John, dear John, won’t you come home?

John, dear John, don’t leave me alone.

Your absence I cannot abide.

I need you here by my side.

John, dear John, do you care

about the depths of my despair?

My heart is about to break -

You are my one and only mate.

So please come back, my John, dear John,

Before I depart with your best friend, Don!

Thank you for coming to visit me and my dear John.  Laurie
