Poetry Love Loss Societal Critique Wit
Enough Rope is a collection of short and humorous poems written by Dorothy Parker in 1926.
The poems use simple rhyme and accessible, easily understood language. Despite this, they deal with complex issues in a brilliant way, using a humorous and sarcastic tone at all times.
Even on harder topics, like the loss of a loved one, humorous rhyme makes poems lighthearted.
It is a very cheerful, accessible and fun read that any lover of poetry and reading in general will enjoy.
"Lilacs blossom just as sweet
Now my heart is shattered.
If I bowled it down the street,
Whoโs to say it mattered?
If thereโs one that rode away
What would I be missing?
Lips that taste of tears, they say,
Are the best for kissing".
