The Clare Sonnet is a couplet rhyme pattern aabbccddeeffgg - The Perfect Sonnet Contest
Bi-Polar Misery...

The highs and lows - the ups and downs of life -
Your ugliness cuts through us like a knife!

The mania! The alcohol! The LIES!
You've grown into a man that we DESPISE!

And then your deep depression comes about.
You cannot work - you rot - you bottom out.

The money's gone - your job - it's all long lost...
Your children and your ex have paid the cost.

In truth - you find your happiness with booze;
And thus, you win! -- Defeated - we all lose.


How brutal and how cruel is your disease,
With damage done - it's too late to appease.
