Tell-A-Vision of Sadness (A Sonnet)

By Anthony Jarvis

I’m afraid my friend, that I must bid farewell

My life has been immaculate and very short

My heart has stopped, call medical personnel

So many things left to see of every sort

With the wave of a hand, my love was taken

All the time we spent staring at each other

It was all short lived because I was mistaken

I forgot the day to pay, I’ll never recover

Bury me in my uncharted backyard

I’ll probably be on the news but I can’t know

My life was hanging by a cable, so hard

It was broken, I was cut off, now I go

Never mind my friend, I’m fine you see

My father paid the price, once again we have TV

(Authors Note: I don’t even watch TV)
