''On Misery''

I find comfort in my misery,
Like the dog that refuses to sleep in its box,
Despite the crunch of frost,
Despite the chill that licks its face.
A connoisseur of sorrows,
I befriend the sick, the dying, the disturbed,
In the frost, I shiver in silent rage,
I am reminded of yesterday,
the scent of you exhausted the air around me,
It's not only the chill numbs my face.
As the glorious sun rises,
the dog rises,
another night well spent,
I climb into my box,
Now I can sleep

I am reminded of a song called I'm Only Happy When it Rains by the band Garbage.
You should listen to it. I think it would appeal to you. I get from your poem that you seem to enjoy these nights of misery but why they satisfy you does'nt really seem to be explained. That's fine of course , poets being granted the right to indulge in or withold information at their own whim , however , it does leave the reader curious. Well those are my thoughts. It's better than many a first poem I've read. Welcome to YPDC. Please do keep posting. truly , Doug |
