“Sadness” by David Junod
I need a God
who will laugh
at this world
I can manage
the crying
all by myself
From my book Human Waters
What a World

Words of Wonder, Worry and Whimsy

Reblogged this on From Midnight to Dawnlight and commented:
Paul is an amazing poet. As a volunteer reader in my community, I have shared several of his epigrams and brought joy to young and old alike. I found What a World a simple and clever poem with a touch of humor, yet deeply poignant.. One hallmark of great writing is that it appears effortless. I can see this as a famous author quote one day. Please enjoy…
