A Sad Tale Poem by Meggie Gultiano

your beautiful poem brings out the bitter side of the life very touchingly, Meggie... thanks...10

Sad tale reminded me of my grandfather...he died in vain too...with all his family in feud..he also drinks tuba! everytime...but maybe there's always a reason why those comes our life... sympathy can give ease pain...i know that in time despite the upbringing sadness of our lives can give joy to those who have been left behind...but in the future..that there is still life.

We have but one life and it's a precious gift, some hate the life they are given and drink to forget their problems leaving many a broken home in their wake, save your pitty for those that have the stength to find their way again.. Andy 10

This is beautifully expressed, Meggie. Your phrasing is particularly fine and the story - you give the reader just enough to create his/her own version. Sad, the alcoholic's downward slide into misery. Even death is not a release. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A sad tale indeed told so eloquently with so many subjects to see Soft and sadly expressed+++++++++10 regards and thanks

Meggie, its a very sad tale, really. Its so sad that one dies alone, (am i taking these lines too literal?) But now all is gone, his family, his friends No one wanted to be in his company In pain, his drinking came to an end Your poem touches the heart of the reader. More power Meggie!

a very sad tale indeed... we cannot take anything for granted... when all is said and done, the love of family and friends is all that matters....

A sad tale indeed. This line, I stood there, by that lonely road again stands out and lingers in my mind. Loneliness pervades the whole scene and story.

There, but for the grace of God, go I. Thank you fot a lovely hartfelt poem. 10
