Best Shrivel Up Poems

Sometimes on Discovery TV, 
there's time-lapse to teach and dazzle us.
We might see that naked jay (before he's turned to blue)
in just mere moments transforming!
He masquerades in feathers and quickly grows. 
Maybe we will witness the feeble endeavors
which finally propel him into flight; 
as the...

What is naked? Without clothes?
Sky clad nightmare feeling shame?
Or deepest secrets all exposed?
Wretched, woeful, just the same

Stripped and helpless to them all
Friends and foes just point and laugh
Curled up in a foetal ball
Fragile façade epitaph

So do I yield? Give up? Withdraw?
Cower from the searing light
Let...

Oh the woe, for woe is me,
I said, "I do" to a teacher-to-be!
I tried to marry my best friend,
Now strapped to him, I stand condemned.

I support him with my soulless jobs,
Counting beans with business snobs.
He sacrificed much time, unpaid,
Which I picked up and played the...

A country in turmoil
An imposter sits on the throne
From the moment he takes office
Stripping our rights away like a banana
Leaving us slipping on the peels
Trying to figure out what the Hell to do.

Workers vanish from the crop fields,
who will harvest the produce?
Pulled from WHO and...

“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

I shrivel up in shame
For, I am not to blame
For the shenanigans you put me through so many times
Sometimes, I wish I was no more, but the clock still chimes
 
Yeah, I’m...

I do hope you and everyone else, enjoyed themselves at the do.

If you are ever in Ruddington,could you please give me a hand.

I’m trying so hard to create a garden, with a matchbox sized piece of land.

I don’t seem to...

The weeds that grow upon the lawn
Continue growing when they’re shorn
Though treated with a herbicide
It’s no surprise that none have died
The chemicals that you apply
Should make them shrivel up and die
But only seem to feed and nourish
Makes them grow and makes them flourish
Don’t sit there...

What should I write on Thanksgiving Day?
I don't think I will write about Thanksgiving
But I will write about a heart not be thankful
When you look around you 
And you don't see what you should be thankful for
Are you sure about that?
Are you sure that the...

A Traveller's Anthem

So much in verse, so unlike prose
A marvelous gift to each of those
Who revel in it's glory

Yet here I am, mere mortal man
Inspired by one who's aura can
Compel me to my story

A traveller? Yes, but please refrain
From treating us with that disdain
Usually reserved...

Teach me how to cry
So that when it hurts I may be able to untangle what pain lies between the angles of my arteries
I want to excrete what is obsolete
To pave way for the exit of that which makes me incomplete
I want, 
To never hold...

I can't be thinking of what others think
I have a life to live
Or do I?
Should you always think of what others think?
You can't afford to
If you always think of what others think
You would be crippled - literally
You can't move
You can't talk
You can't think
God did not...

Outside something creeps
In the rustling of the grass
And the crackling of the bushes
The moon licks its thumb
And turns the page
Of the next book
Humans can be so dull, you know?
 
Light spills into the cracks
Of the sidewalks the puddles
Shrivel up in the undying sun
And I am...

May I be so bold as to allow me to pet your li'l wee sniggler

Forgive me for being so forward

But I couldn't help noticing you have tied a big red bow on it

Is there some hidden significance to this addition

It really wasn't necessary you know

Coz...

Here without you 
Paints me a realization that life isn't easy
It displaces the settling railroad
Taken away by the midnight train's calamity 

Waiting impatiently 
to face some inspiration given by God
Over the driver and I 

By the way you shrivel up in anger, 
I'm not ready to cross through the trampled street
Trampling...

Should I be filled with regret?
When I did what I thought was my best?
Or did I? 
Gosh to think how could I have hurt her so 
Did I do right by you, I know there were times you were disappointed in me 
Oh how I...
