The Year of the Melancholy: Life Likes to Tease

Hello world!

The first poem under The Year of the Melancholy would be uploaded soon. In the meantime, click to subscribe.

I will put the poem here also for those who would like to read.

Enjoy.

Life Likes to Tease

Life wakes me up when I’m feeling sleepy

Tells me to shut the hell up when I’m weeping

Takes my money and throws it into the ocean

And dares me to find it

Or else I won’t eat tonight

Life turns some good friends into bad ones

As it introduces them to a girl called Betrayal

Life advises me to make GOOD friends

But LIFE is friends with

Its alter ego who is a thief

The thief calls himself Death

That’s when I understood

“Show me your friend, and I’ll show you your character”

Life is Death in disguise

Life throws a javelin into your immune system

Life names the javelin infirmity

Tells us to stay there

“Stay in your bed! Don’t get up!”

Life throws pepper into your eyes

Calls the effect tears

The river that flows and dries up

“Life, oh life! You are so unfair!”

“I know that,” says life. “I always take that as a compliment”

Thank you for reading and hope to see you in the next post....

Films of Poetry: The Year of the Melancholy

What’s up everyone!!!

It is I, Marietta.

I know some of you miss me. It is definitely, not all of you.

Thank you for patiently waiting for me. I am back. (Terminator)

For those of you who do not know yet, a new section of the blog has been created and that is the Marietta DeGrant YouTube channel.(Subscribe!)

So, since I have launched a YouTube channel, there are more ideas floating in my head. Thus, the birth of Films of Poetry.

I present to you; Films of Poetry.

Films of Poetry is a segment/playlist on my YouTube channel where I do more visual poetry and spoken word and Season 1 is starting this month.

Season 1 has the theme; the year of the melancholy. It may sound depressing already, but if you think about it, it is not.

They are short visual videos that go with the poem and the poems were written by me.

The Year of the Melancholy has six poems.

Thanks y’all.

Let’s chat: which platform do you personally prefer? IGTV, or YouTube?
