Useless, A challenge entry to Handbook competion alberts poetry cafe

sonnet in iambic tetrameter

 

 

Useless.

 

The handbook isn’t written yet

 that will teach me to forget.

The years of happiness we shared.

I have no doubt because we dared,

to accept that we were meant to be.

Bonded together as a pair

Because we matched so perfectly.

A partnership beyond compare.

There’s no hand book nor will there be.

In any language known to man,

 which can erase your memory.

I am certain that nothing can

Of what use could a handbook be?

It won’t relieve my misery.

I used to write instructions for a living. It is to laugh! As to bonding, I've done that to, and have a better half.
Great thought in iambic pentameter
