Best Grimmest Poems

The ecosystem’s perfect design
A providence of the Great Divine.
A holistic balance that should not fail
If well-taken-cared of by those that dwell.

The atmosphere was just enough
To sustain the living and its habitat.
Green vegetations were all around
And so the spring from underground.

The fish; the birds; and the...

Discarded, left in the abyss of solitude to decay, 
Left with only with hopelessness and eternal dismay. 
Fearing the worst with each passing day
Cringing, hiding my heart in a hole near where I lay. 

The sun beats on my body with no remorse to my...

Mist, Mist..
Why not whisper, why not speak?
When upon thy shrouded depths,
Thou knowest truly, what we seek

Darkness, Darkness
Why be quiet, why not be shrill?
When your hoot and squeal and growls,
Shivers our spine, with unbidden thrill

Cat, Cat
Why be fair, why not be black?
Then your hackles and caterwauling,
Sends...

Over the Top

Whistle blows, we’re under order
Just another day, just another slaughter
Just another time, we’re over the top
The ruling class, they just won’t stop

We will stop lots of things 
Like bullets and mortars
With grimmest and grins 
With stiff upper lip, not quivering chins
As we move...

The sky benighted, cloudy, grim,
In such a way that even dim,
Was every thought of mine.
And ponderous drops of weighty rain,
This morbid air and smell maintain,
Thus frame this scene malign!
With eyes as dreary as the soul,
Of sloth, whom devil wicked stole,
All cheerfulness divine,
I entered through my...

VII
There never was an army quite like Xerxes’.
Hyrcanians, Medes, Egyptians, Syrians, Scyths –
soon, Greece would grovel at its tender mercies –
a fate more gruesome than the grimmest myths.
It drank whole rivers dry.  Took three days with
the crossing of the bridge.  Then came a...

TERROR, TERROR
Mist, Mist..
Why not whisper, why not speak?
When upon thy shrouded depths,
Thou knowest truly, what we seek

Darkness, Darkness
Why be quiet, why not be shrill?
When your hoot and squeal and growls,
Shivers our spine, with unbidden thrill

Cat, Cat
Why be fair, why not be black?
Then your hackles and...

Having succumbed to suicidal insouciance,
From which mellifluous melted words dripped,
She fought the nemesis of the inner annoyance,
Who beleaguered her with languishing lips.  

The lithe lips whose fingers scratched labyrinthian letters,
Upon parchment paper with opulent serendipity,
Ever flowing in metric harmony by her gossamer tethers,
Of her...

Oooh, Andrea, can we take a walk, 
because my time is passing
 and we need to talk.
Seems the days grow shorter 
when the ice melts in
And we don't know if we're gonna fall in.
But there's a place we can go
the same old yard we both...

We live in a world shaped into an 
inverted pyramid.
A world where wrong is painted true
And evil is displayed as the greatest 
good,
It’s a world at the very brink of 
insanity.

A world so tough, for those whose 
garments are white, to bear with
And it is...

Offspring between close family members
not biologically fit nor ablest
even if direct immediate relations
consider themselves best
buddies, emotionally intimate, and offload
heavy matters weighing down

on their respective figurative chest,
cuz lurking within brethren and cistern genes,
and/or chromosomes dwell deadliest
nastiest, and weakest link undermining
searingly robust reproductive human stock,
thru molecular hijacking...

the power of our desperation
----------------------------

when the river of time is choked with debris
and i can no longer sail against the tide
i must clear the way before me
for stopping is a backward ride

i am a ship with a fool at the wheel
a captain by default, not...

As illness spread across the land, and our lives began to spiral,
A Captain and his charitable plan was a tale that soon went viral.

A centenarian walking laps, distracted us from Covid stats and charts,
And the route he took around his home led him straight into...

Open the door, get out of that room,
What are you scared of? Aren’t you alone?
The corridor! do you see? Walk along
The carpet, the walls, the painting of the bird in flight!
Absorb them, soak up the vintage scent.
Believe me! Do not suspect the words of my...

This message is a malignant retort
I report when we are fully evolved head

Biology hey

Yeah we be coming

 WE don't know those...
