Best Doom And Gloom Poems

Priests of Doom and Gloom:
Fear, the seat of their feigned
power. We, meaning them, know
best: follow us and be saved
or risk eternal pain and suffering~
being forever graved! Yet some, as
I, choose the worship of one word,
Love! Avoiding Dogmatic Mercenaries,
Faux stand-ins, for the one, true,
God, all merciful,...

Shores of doom 
Needn’t engulf the space in your mind
Where without your will gloom
Can’t inhabit until faithless fleas and spiritual sleaze find

Room and space to waylay and slay without delay
The faith you profess to possess
In a spray without a ray stray
Strung and hung when you...

Our society may be crumbling before our eyes
As foundational structures change dramatically,
Families are not cohesive units as they used to be
Seldom we experience those extended family ties.

Sunday church attendance is at an all-time low;
Non-religious stats show fewer people in the pews
And the news media is...

People say my poetry is mostly doom and gloom
But I’m a funny person and I’ll prove it to you soon
My wit and sharp ripostes are a constant delight
Let’s see if I can tell this story to prove I’m right.

I had three friends who loved booze
And...

Time for a happy-go-lucky poem
No more doom and gloom
There's enough of that stuff going around
Life's just a big cartoon

Live and laugh and have a ball
Nothing's really gonna change
So kick up your heels and sing out loud
Though some may think you're deranged

Who knows it could be...

Today'a weather took a definite turn for the worse
Crappy clouds and rain, our mood is cursed
Doom and gloom it creates
Well in my mind at any rate
Feel we're all doomed, I have visions of a hearse...

Why should you sit alone in your room?
Participate in a Baby Boom!
With so many dying
There's no use in crying
When you can have fun and doom the gloom!...

Oh, lordy! The nuts are at it again.
Their paranoiac claims abound today.
Oh! So often I heard their sick refrains
Expounding, predicting the end of days:
Armageddon is near! Sinners prepare
Yourselves! Never once have their claims come true.
The poor souls! Victims of hopeless despair
Terminal crazies, if only they...

News flash; everyone is going to die!

And yet, it’s just as easy to spin it elseways;

But the known is not news
While the possible is, possibly
And the hysterical sells, definitely

Somewhere in our human nature
We are wired...

Lettuce pray
for I can eat no lettuce today.
No Cos, no Iceberg, no Loose leaf.
Arugula and
Kale are beyond the pale
for alas a procedure looms
while fresh edibles are all in bloom.

It's Spring and not a green thing to eat,
what a bother
soon no red things neither.

For lunch I...

A dark cloak wraps the sky
Draped in deep gloom
Blind to starlight's bright glare
Fear grips each ghost
Running helter skelter
Their time of doom
Lies ahead in the night
Fear at each post!
