Misery does come into all of our lives, go away Misery, I want only happiness in my life. I want to be a princess, but not of doom. Do you think i'll make it!

WOW I like the comment of Mr Bowmen - Run like hell from doom and gloom OH Well! This is not heaven yet - It takes all kinds on this earth.But Jesus wrote in the dirt -" Let the one who is without sin throw the first stone." However He said "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" The key word here is REPENT He forgave the woman at the Well who had seven husbands but was married to none. So we must forgive; hard as it is to do. To forgive the abuser is the hardiest. But we must try. Be a little flower in God's Garden. It is not so hard to do.

This poem reminds me of myself at times and things in the past.
I am getting provoked by this poem. Thanks for reading!
Love ya! Becca

Ab-so-lutely, Regis. Misery is a troublesome and nasty thing.

Sounds like somebody got deeply hurt.
God bless,
Lew

I think this poem is about someone. I for one have met many dark deceiver's who were not female but male. The Prince of Darkness who pretended to be pure white. This is very good.

Misery is an awful companion! Nice rhymes.

Peace,

I hope she rides her night into the morning's Light
As we all must do before we reach Wisdom's dephths.

Your writing is very much to the point of her essence, and it is well written. It may not be a good positive, but it surely represents the truth, about some people, that has to be known to others. This dark truth, I have had to face many times in my life, and I have had to write about it, too. Thanks for being the brave one and sharing this, Regis.

Umm, you caught the essence here, Regis. And, you have used the form so well with intelligent insight to get the message across......Jerry

very good one on Msery Regis, love it, cheers

MISERY...THAT AGELESS KILLER OF CONTENTMENT AND PEACE...BUT THERE IS AN ANTIDOTE AND SHE WELL 'KNOWS' WHO HE IS. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE AND BLESSINGS, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS.

Yep, it seems the evil lurks in darkness. Love it! xxxx

Regis, Excellent rhyming acrostic describing misery perfectly! I feel alot of emotion in every word written. Very powerful! Take care, ~Chessly

Regis, your verbalization chiseled like a sculptor the face of "Misery" that is easy to relate to. An imposing figure that we must all deal with many times throughout the course of our lives. A veiled, indiscriminate, bitch. I thoroughly enjoyed your acrostic my friend. May joy,love and peace forever make "Misery" an event obscured in the shadows of your life. Jon Michael

I am at odds with Lena below me here in some of the points she raises, so it's interesting how readers respond and react to what's offered so differently, Regis. I very much like this personification which puts a very real face on an otherwise abstract term and characterises it well. I find each line punchy and strong and absolutely crystal in its delivery. Neatly encompassed at the end, too. This works for me, but I am also very respectful of others' takes, so each to his/her own. This poem has certainly sparked and inspired many thoughts and directions: like misery itself. I think that, if the poem lacks emotion, then that is often true of the state of being miserable: a numbness occurs. Well done! :)) xx

This is a good poem, but it lacks emotion in my opinion and it is not a poem that leaves an impression in the end. When I read the poem the fourth line seems to ruin the flow, unless I am reading it the wrong way.

Lena

YES! I certainly agree. Misery is not only the princess of doom, though, but a spectral raven pecking at our souls crying "nevermore". I wish there was no misery, no wars, no weapons of destruction, no crime, no hate, no indifference, no bigotry. Let Misery lie in her realm and let us be happy and have gaeity in our lives. Thank you for sharing this macabre tale with an important message.

May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister Barbie.

Oh sure, blame it on the princess of doom. There might be a few princes out there who qualify:-) Patrick

Regis, this is very original and a masterpiece. Yet again you have challenged yourself to go against the norm and experiment. Love this!!

Nicely done, Regis. I like the way you challenge yourself with different styles of poetry. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

Sad but cleverly written.
ann

It always seems that misery feeds off the the night...splendid rhyming acrostic, Regis

Carole~

Yes, that sounds like him and his minions, satan that is. J'nia

Dear Regis,
How right you are about a sad and ever lurking presence in this world/life... How beautifully and eloquently expressed. Thanks a lot for many many things,
tarek

loved it ... you have a rare talent and the ways to express the truth in a very touching and yet straight fashion, Regis...you do it everytime...Brilliant piece...great rhyming acrostic. best wishes...neerja

Misery loves Misery that is for sure~
Blessings Reg,
Christine

Gloom Reviews Yep Misery Loves Company!

TRASK...

The dark shadows are palpable, Regis. A fine rhyming acrostic filled with emotional depth. So much said in only a few lines. Hugs and love, Elizabeth

you captured misery in a rhyming acrostic....it's great. -Morgan

so true fo many Regis! A very apt analogy of those who avoid the "light"...etw

Reg,

Powerful write of anger and sadness.

Mary

Sadly the world, I believe, is going to get worse instead of better.
Superb poetry Reg

I like the cleverness of this one and how you captured not only thhe meaning of the word but also the feeling of it.
fee

Been there. Not a fun place. I'm back and ever so glad. Very astute of you. Hope your stay wasn't lengthy, but it's evident that you have visited. Thanks Dick

I remember the person described. I think they were cloned. Definitely not the writer of this clever social commentary with this rhyming acrostic.

I never get to say what I want cause everyone else does before me, HOW RUDE...LOL...ed

Hell is other people [Sartre] and misery is right around the corner.

Metaphorically telling.

Ron

Does she enjoy company?

dark, very dark...nice writing, Reg.

Cheers,
Dan

I am so glad that I don't live in that space. I would hate to be that person or to have that person in my world. Miserable people always want a companion but I try to stay far away from their trap. Good job with rhyming acrostic, Reg.
Take care,
Sherry

Really good acrostic Regis ~
Luckily, though, I can NOT relate to her one bit!
Blessings,
Christine

Sounds like manic depression, which doesn't feel good at all.

Regis...you touch upon that darkness that seems to always be just waiting to grasp the soul and keep one from the light...

nice work...

I like this. It describes misery to a t and the rhymes are smooth. :)

Well done Regis, she sounds like one to stay away from!

Well written, Regis, well written indeed.

John

A reminder of how fortunate I have been to leave misery in the dust.
It is true- run like hell- don't look back.
Great job Regis.

John

We are on the same page today Regis. Well done.

George

Well done Regis. You just described my old boss. She would cut folks to ribbions like a snake in the grass and take credit for all of your hard work. God knows how I even survived!

Blessings,

John Michael Domino

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

run like hell from doom and gloom!

Deep and very intriguing. Sounds like a reflective broken heart searching for a way...

Be always safe,
Karen

Well written acrostic, Regis.

I sure have a lot to learn Regis, I didn't know what an 'acrostic' was till I read this one, very clever! I like the verse too, I have met a few people in my time that are the embodiment of misery, you describe them well.

Misery made me a little smarter...
Best wishes Regis,
David

Well penned. Much talent displayed here.
