Francis Duggan Sorrow Poems

One can hear the voice of sorrow sobbing, sobbing endlessly
Yet it hides in dark recesses sorrow you can never see
It's a black and brooding creature with a voice that aches of pain
And all of those who have met with it hope not to meet with it again.
...

The deep pangs of sorrow you too would have known
When in the darkness of your room you have wept on your own
Soulful tears for a loved one you would never more see
How sad very sad sometimes living can be
...

The literary critics tend to ignore me and my verses they don't even rate
I'm seen as lacking in inspiration without the genius to create
What one would call something of literary value something that would live on in time
I am one of the last poetasters to dabble in old fashioned rhyme.
