Advert, day 14


Advert.
Wanted: good home for sonneteer. House trained.
Has plumbed the depths these couple of weeks,
Certain to drag you down when you’re at your peak,
Especially obsessed by death and stained
By tears, real or not melancholia
Guaranteed. A hit at certain parties,
Though not much good at making things rosier.
As you’ll find he’s quite used to moving on,
Two weeks with him is enough for anyone,
Or you’ll be needing a drop of curare.

I’ve done my stint for NAPOWRIMO –
Love and death, God knows where he’ll go.
He says – ask him – he’s on some sort of quest,
If you can cope, you may see the best.

If there wasn't one already in our household, I'd be tempted to put in an offer :-)

It's been a pleasure writing alongside you this past fortnight Mr R - I look forward to seeing what comes over the next two weeks.

Ash
