Elegy for Eeyore
Elegy for Eeyore

They say that misery loves company
but I suspect that Eeyore
prefers to wallow alone in his woes.
These happy, celebratory humans
are more a cause than a cure,
an insult added to injury
to one who mourns life itself,
and a birthday another burden.

For Express It In Eight, April 24 2021
Prompt: Eeyore’s Birthday Festival, Austin, Texas.
