For "PromptMaster !" 
Task Prompt:
Write a poem where you’re mad at irony because you don’t understand it.

It's crazy.
I don't know whether to be
happy or sad.
I'm confused.

He said I was the one
we got officially engaged
a big party ... happiness
down on his knees with a rose.

Wedding outfit, wedding hall
booked.
Honeymoon cottage booked
Pre-wedding traditional dances
planned
"Which flavour of ice-cream shall we serve?"

Then kaput.
Engagement broken for no apparent reason.

Sixteen years go by
I hear he has passed away
Had a brain tumour.

Ironic, isn't it?
My plight would've been a lot worse
He spared me
by ditching me

The thing is, irony
Now I don't know
whether to cry
or laugh.
