Picnic for One

[billy]

the last verse holds the poem up. a suggestion would be to make the meter in each verse the same (use the first as a template) and sort out the none rhyming line, i like how you make the reader feel it's a walk out on me poem when in fact it's a passed away on me poem.

Today I packed a picnic.
A sandwich for me
and none for you.
The meal is not for two.

Today I packed a picnic.
I brought a book
to read aloud.
That will be the only sound. sound doesn't rhyme with aloud

Today I packed a picnic.
I have a blanket
the shape of a square.
Half of it will be bare.

Today I packed a picnic.
Seeing you
I must be brave.
I ate it at your grave.
