All These Tales of Suicide

[ChristopherSea]

I like your point of view and the sarcasm herein! The 8/6 alternating syl lines gave this a whimsical meter. In that vein, trimming the mixed regret line is recommended.

I personally prefer the mix of rhymes and near rhymes. Sometimes you are damned if you stick to strict rhymes, coming off as forced. On the other hand, if you mix strict and slant ones, you get chided. I tell them to read Emily Dickinson!
