How many times and in how many ways can a man have his heart broken?
Only the lonely can understand how I am feeling. It’s as if I’ve checked into Heartbreak Hotel.
I now refer to myself as “Mr. Lonely,” and I just don’t care anymore. I will no longer allow myself to cry those lonely teardrops. I will stop shedding the tears of a clown.
From this day forth I resolve that I am a rock, I am an island, and I’ll be what I am, a solitary man.
(Exactly 90 words)
Written for Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt, where the word is “solitudinarian.”

I kind of doubt that I will ever have an occasion to use the word solitudinarian, but you did a great job with it.

Very clever. Although will he learn that ‘no man is an island’ after all?

I hope, for his sake, that he does learn that.

I have a feeling I probably missed one or two, but are there nine references? Great job!

I only counted seven, but maybe I missed a few.
