Bravo you two! I hope I can come up with something. My poetry & prose side

has been neglected for many years. I like what you guys did, they're great

I think this just about sums it all up.

My ode to you, 2010

What a year it sure has been!

I can't say that you have been my friend

But this is for you, 2010.

I continued to learn

that life is tough.

That people are people,

and sometimes that's rough.

For this is the first full year

that I have stayed,

Away from my nada

who's crazy & enraged.

But " Alas! " I must say

as I digress,

my fiances ex wife

is a freaking mess.

Alcohol and booze

ruin her life.

And watching her do this

cuts like a knife.

Her kids don't know

that she's not right.

They're sadly with her

almost every night.

I walked away

from one woman mad.

Right into another,

This makes me so sad!

My health has gone

from bad to worse.

Fiance should arrange

for a lovely hearse!

Surgery to come

just after you're gone.

Somehow I feel like

a puppet or pawn.

Health in the way

of everything good.

Stay positive, you say?

I know that I should!

But school is great

I found my true calling.

My grades are tops,

they sure aren't falling.

My fiance is truly

the one I adore.

But his ex... God that woman!

Her I abhor!

So to 2010

this I say last.

Get the hell out

and get going fast!

Aw thanks ! =) I'm glad you enjoyed it. Fiance got a good laugh

out of it too.
