And Other Short Form

Mortals Compassion

Oh woe to she who falls down in the crevice of society

Only to be trodden by the successes of their eccentricity

Shall I bear ye not on my shoulders

Then I too will reside in their quarters

So deadly is the compassion of mortals

-JM

Together

I turned and your heart stopped

The words dropped

As they left you hanging

It was over and there was nothing

We could do

No one

We could see or talk to

Everything we did

and tried

Only made things worse

inside

We'd cry together

hurt together

We'd sit alone

together

Lay alone in sheets of tears

together

But we won't die

together

-JM

Authors Note: Creating a 100 word count minimum is kind of detrimental to short form poetry. Like Haiku. But I guess coupling together isn't so hard.
