Coffee Glum
Hey loser
I see your coffee
Seen you reach for
what is offy

Got me bad
Saw you're mad
Sucks to see it
Insults my dad

Who you kidding
Not too bright
Sucks to be you
Not my fight...

How To Be Glum
Stan was feeling somewhat glum,nay even despairing,on Monday morning.
Mary had gone to work on her new folding 6 gear bicycle with own basket and an extra basket from Wells-next -the- Sea 1995
[the wicker basket now somewhat grey in hue.]
He was left at home sorting out...

Premium Member So Glum
Woebegone woe beset, be gone
A Wobbegong dumbed down in dumps
Forlorn in doldrums deep and glum
For the taste of glum is dour and sour 
Mirthless and mournful, cheerless and doleful
Apparel crestfallen, disheveled, long-face, appalled
Butt out, begone, woebegone Wobbegong, long in tooth
Trim your beard, its shaggy and...

The Month of November Glum

Late Autumn bloomers, mums galore,
Crowd the mantel with Fall décor,
Filling one’s heart with warmth and timbre,
In the glum month of November.

I watched her pick them one by one,
To place in a vase of chrysanthemums,
Of beguiling colours and scent,
Tempting romantic engagement.

My eyes...

Wishfully Glum
I'm half agony, half hope
With my silenced voice
And no other choice
But to elope. 

Letting go, wishfully glum
Of my life thus far, 
Follow the star
To freedom. 

For society did shove
In our hearts a dent
We weren't meant
To fall in love.

Borrowed the first line from Jane Austen.
Dedicated to...

Premium Member Glug glug glum
I swim in sorrow, deep and wide,
Against a tide that won’t let me hide.
Each thought is bleak, each stroke is weak,
My breath is weak, I cannot speak.
If I stop to think, I start to sink.
My eyes glue shut if I blink.
I'm slunk in a glum,...

Life - Glum Or Foe
In care of me but usual
as I am always looking
closely with my life
that's so happy.
My life is as likely
a friend who likes me
though I don't know it,
starving like a hunger.
A magical ball on me
that's surround's me
like a sheep or cattle,
grazing for their feast.
As a friend...

Glum Yet Grateful
Here comes the dawn
of a thoughtful Mourn. 
Month of the desecrated demise
of a Monumental personage.

Unpleasant feels beclouds the air
I consume,
My structure reconciles itself
to the dreadful wake of the dawn.

Hushed his grief within,
As though He counts it less.
Burdened the hearts become.
For the weight tears apart within.

Boundary...

Glum is The Word
Miracle Man
January 2024

It’s difficult, my remaining positive,
when facing negativity throughout each day.
Depressing things are what I encounter,
some thoughts are dark, many others are gray.

It’s dealing with things beyond my grip,
with age came things that have chased my smile.
Like the border situation that...

I was sitting in my room
I was reading in the silence
darling alone I sit and wonder about you
It's a mysterious and gloomy night
It appears as though  nothing's gone right
Please inform me sweetie how I can  go on without you?

Okay I'm glum and sad
I...
