"It is sad"
It is unfortunate that these thoughts go through someone's head seeking attention.
It is unfortunate that these thoughts go through someone's head without realising they are not alone.
It is unfortunate that these thoughts go through someone's head without realising they can have assistance.
It is unfortunate that these thoughts go through someone's head without realising that someone has been through the this.
It is unfortunate that these people do not seek aid from those that have been there.
It is sad

About this poem:
AdamsAnt ended up with this being my comments relating to his poem. It specifically relates to the wastefulness of suicide when there is so much out there to look forward to experiencing.
30 years ago when my wonderful marriage was escaping me.
20 years ago when my children wanted nothing to do with me.
10 years ago when my children started back.
0 years ago when my grandchildren mean so much to all of us.
10 years to come and I so wish I will be there to share that day.
Looks like another poem.

Of all the sickly forms of verse,
Commend me to the triolet.
It makes bad writers somewhat worse:
Of all the sickly forms of verse,
That fall beneath a reader's curse,
It is the feeblest jingle yet.
Of all the sickly forms of verse,
Commend me to the triolet.
Of all the diff'rent forms of verse,
I demand the use of triolet.
To take a form of little use .... that will be terse:
Of all the diff'rent forms of verse,
That endear to me this simple verse,
It is the strong thought......but yet..
Of all the diff'rent forms of verse,
I demand the use of triolet.

About this poem:
I have not written any poetry in the last 20 something years but...........I was on a recent trip in Tasmania where someone made the suggestion/demand that we read a poem of the selected works of Banjo Paterson each night. As I was a solo driver this was my first attempt and it was "Page 100" without seeing what it was I had to read. I had another 2 poems to read later, one I did manage to prepare for and one handed to me on the night of "The Reading." Very difficult to properly express a poem without some preparation.
Having said tha,t and mentioning this to my house-sitter on my return, it has gotten me a wee bit interested as I have not seen or heard of this form before.
So the second verse is mine. Hope it suffices.
