Hello, Insanity

A poem with a bit of a Poe-like flair...enjoy! (Yes, I started some rhyming again...I was starting to miss it:) )

Hello, I’ve seen you before.
Please, come in...shut the door.
What brings you here this time?
Oh, here again with no reason or rhyme?

Tempting me again,
Dear old friend?
It’s been awhile since your last visit,
Yes, such a long time isn’t it?

Looks like it’s time to go,
Where I’ll end up, I don’t know.
Ready to act, ready run,
I hope this time will be fun.

Sharp is the knife,
A quick slash to end a life.
Shovel, canvas, rope,
For one tonight there is no hope.

Oh, the pills kept you away I see,
But with them gone I have more clarity.
I now know what I must do,
And all I have to thank is you.

Hello, Insanity...make yourself at home,
I’ll be awhile, hiding them in the loam.
A few more gone, blood stains my tools,
They say you’re bad, but they’re just fools.

I like it Shaun. I don't think it's the greatest topic but I like the approach.

Capt. over and out!

Freaky in a sense. Insane, would be the best word for it. Great job.

Peace,

Are you insane? Insanity is one of the few neglected topics, there hasn't really been any popular ones since "The Telltale Heart"

Freaky in a sense. Insane, would be the best word for it. Great job.


Ah, thank you Beebes.

mm, insanity, such a fickle friend. its great, (the poem i mean, not insanity) the similies and metaphors and all that fig. lang. jazz is awesome and ties it together so neatly and great.
the topic is kinda spooky, but thats what makes it so neatly and greatly! (hehe adverbs turned into adjectives)

on an English craze, (can't ya tell?)

PS- didn't mention how much I LOVE YOU in this comment so i thought i'd put it in here...
I Love You sooo much, till the end of time will my love last for You!
