to "play with sadness" .... an intriguing concept...... well done

i especially liked the dots or periods you used within the words to accentuate the syllables in the meter (maybe that's not what you intended but that's how i read it)

thanks for the read!! enjoyed this....

I always enjoy reading a poem with a difference.  This is one of those, and it says something meaningful too. I like it!
