Best Gripe Poems

I only use Skype to contact my son
Yet my contacts list is now over run
So many men want to get to know me
I wonder what the reason can be
Each day I get messages by the score
I’m fed up with it, it’s becoming a bore
Some wear...

The malicious windings of your hasty pace
That erase sweet memories and their trace
Waste things that breathes and ones mute;
Pitiless Time, you are such a ruthless brute!

If you only aged men who your dials mess,
Or only blighted the cute ignorant mistress
Who thinks that your clocks tick...

She worked down at the car hop 
Serving trays to those who paid 
I just wanted to be that pillow 
Where her pretty face laid 
She looked like a diva 
Her body was super fine 
And lardy how I dreamed 
That one day she’d be...

Thank-you so much
for all you never did
I was a grown-up
while you acted a kid
You’re a selfish brat
so self-absorbed
I gave you all I had
but you still wanted more
Nothing could ever please you
The world was not enough
I could give you God’s own thrown
and you would still find...

Trunks tower upward, majestically
Dyed shreds of paper blow as leaves swaying
Cascading sunlight peers arrestingly
Paper, human, has something it's saying
I am worth less than the fields below me
I can compete not with sturdy cotton
Pretense as valuable comodity
The layperson knows not what he's gotton
Taken unawares flattens hopefulness
Intelligence...

Autumn day, cooling breeze,
rag weed induces me to sneeze.
Pollen causes my nose to run,
a killing frost and then it’s done.

Covid-19 is keeping me at home,
each day comes in monochrome.
I feel that I’m under house arrest,
each day feeling more...

What the world thinks about me-
It doesn't matter;
But in my soul, I have stutter
It might think me the cheater 
But I never be an Ivy creeper!!

I have no friends-
I am trying to be in trend;
To show the world, I may not believe God
But it doesn't...

I wanted to traipse in the desert
But sand dunes were in the way
I went to ski in the mountains
But snow blocked the pass that day

It seems Mother Earth has a game
That she really loves to play
Forget about YOUR calendar
To Mother Earth, today is PAY DAY!...

Grumbles and groans about all she sees.
                      Bellyaching and complaining
              ...

The Latest Gripe

1/2024

Seems anything decent someone finds fault,
too many things are now said to be divisive.
A lawsuit comes next, then it comes to a halt,
the supreme court has the vote that’s decisive.

Today, The Nativity Scene is the gripe receiver,
it only took one claiming a...

gripe the heart of time
it's a present
gripe the heart of feelings
it's love

o' no; do not wait;
the future is not for coming;
it's everything in now
the present and the love
gripe the heart of present love

Jack

Jack doesn't dance. Jack doesn't sing.
Retired, Jack does hardly anything.
Jack is reliable. Jack wears black socks.
To speak bluntly, Jack is well boxed.

He lives in one, watches another.
Has one inside to match the others.
Jack gripes, Jack frets, Jack has strong views.
He pays close attention to the...

When I was a child, children were chattel, threatened by our parents and our preacher.
We did not even dare whisper a tiny bit of a sliver of a question at our teacher.
Today’s brazen un-mothers drop their children off for breakfast, lunch and supper.
They have school...
