We’re all at the Anonymous Café
Basking in each other’s misery
Cotton over our bleeding hearts
Defying Death and all her friends
Ever ready to give it another go
Fossiled memories motivating rather than
defeating
Grape sized heart can carry
Such humongous weight
Ignominious defeats
Justifying its strength
Kudos to us all for still trying hard.
Lavish meals and meringue pies
Can only take you so far
Novice Romantics chuckle at us silently
Our orchestra of sadness drown them quiet easily.
Be proud of all the battle scars
Queer we are not for choosing this
Rocky path
Songs getting written by of us at this very
moment
Taste of victory after testing times is the
best after all.
Right?
So the Toads had an interesting prompt where you take a letter-word and run with it. I ran with the letters from A-T then ignored UVWXYZ because I already made my point.
Right, indeed--sweetness is lovely to delight in, but in the end... we need substance.

DeleteHi - I am having trouble commenting so have just jumped on to someone else's comment as a reply. A very fun poem, and clever meander! I especially like the idea of lavish meals and meringue pies only taking you so far--there is something a bit flimsy about meringue, agreed, but it feels very inviting here! Thanks much, k.
