Best Tetchy Poems
Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 24In the morning, he was tetchy, but gentle,
Sitting beside me till my eyelids opened
I sat up, yawning, and rubbed my eyes
His hand brushed a dry tear off my face
“You are alive and well, I see, gentle spirit,
Even with me you thrive on the hidden joys...

The NarrowingGlowing days that were once red-cheeked and ripe with promise,
Are narrowing like tall candles in a church window,
Tapering from the golden stand and the sturdy base,
To the glorious flame and the ever fading light.
The final birth of dreams that was once distant and cold,
Is now...

In his turbo space machine
He has promised he will set me free
If I help him find a queen .
Well I believe in true romance
I listen as he reels off his queens necessities
As he spoke I kept thinking '' No chance...

An Insight From MossAfter making the trip to Bar Harbor in Maine,
we set off on excursions within that domain.
In the midst of events, aggravating, arcane,
we began at a loss.
We embark on a most unpredictable task -
touring Cadillac Mountain with fog as a mask.
Fifteen hundred feet high and...

The HermitThe Hermit
Part 1
Beyond Two Sullen Hill, not too far away,
Lives a solitary man, bitter, old and grey.
Known as the Hermit with heart of cold,
His life of unpleasantness is often told.
Many believe you would turn to stone,
If you caught his stare whilst on your own.
Tetchy and...

Recluse By Dint of Circumstance First CellHe/him (ratty, scrawny,
and tetchy ugly villain)
scurried into dark recesses of hermitage
averse to cavort, frolic, inure himself
into the duplicitous schemes
capitalized, glorified, popularized
courtesy vanity of *****sapiens
lest imp of the pervert

Gerber Baby Meeeeee ContestI lie there with contented bliss
As though awaiting that princely kiss
It worries me that in years to come
I will be horrified showing my bum
Will life be kind, will know no fear
Not with loving parents always there
To guide me through life's tetchy path
To happiness and love...

Recluse By Dint of CircumstanceRecluse by dint of circumstance
Proud anonymous troglodytes
forerunners of mine
confronted threats less horrific

Onerous Anus Complex Number 2cuz poisonous toxins sting like scorpions
severely crimping ability to sit down absorption
radiating throughout every

whereby mood linkedin

UndauntedTasteless pelt whiffs of mundane air
Against my nostrils numb with dread;
Scarcely fathom I what spectacle fair
Beyond this umbra curtain latent lies.
Tetchy harbingers over dark corners
Lurk under dismal mirage-like cloud;
Tomorrow's dreams in eldritch lines
Occlude wisest presages renowned.
Each day's bleak bulletins present

GambitBat-blind to looming gripe and cold decay,
Clueless shoots jump onto life's gay stage,
Oblivious of Grim Fate's scything designs
That waste with disease and stealing age.
They wouldn't turn around and at once behold
Slowly waning sires with mean griefs to scold.
Youth's full plate such wanton cheers...
