funny...but not by: Arianna Loshnowski

it's funny how hello is always accompanied with goodbye
it's funny how good memories can start to make you cry
it's funny how forever never seems to last
it's funny how much you'd lose if you forgot about your past
it's funny how “friends” can just leave when you are down
it's funny how when you need someone they never are around
it's funny how people change and think they're so much better
it's funny how many lies are packed into one “love letter”
it's funny how one night can contain so much regret
it's funny how you can forgive but not forget
it's funny how ironic life turns out to be
but the funniest part of all, is none of thats funny to me 







This poem is pretty self-explanatory.  The author contradicts everything she claims to be 'funny' by offering a downside.  it becomes obvious very early in the poem that Arianna does not really think that any of these things are actually funny.  Also, very early in the poem, Loshowski begins to come off as bitter.  It seems like she resents all of the things that she is talking about.  Loshowski uses the word funny all throughout the poem to further drill in her feeling of bitterness.  I like this poem because i use the sarcastic "isn't it funny" phrase all the time.  Arianna Loshowski does a great job of conveying her bitterness, her resentment, and her sarcasm in this poem.
