It's hard to imagine any poem more depressing--or, by looking so squarely at death and making art of it, more uplifiting--than Larkin's "Aubade."

But since the thread asks us to write our own:

The winter of our discontent
It's far too late to circumvent
For we have managed to cement
A reputation we'll repent.
Donald Trump is President.
