Best Wails Poems

The coda of mourning jays vibrates
In bittersweet tracks when daybreak scans
An almost whipping backdrop, hushed
By low warbles from birds’ paean;
Indistinct as dusty sketches—
Throaty on a lane of funeral’s last rites;
Where the hazily drawn view turns bland
Moistening wail of eyes with a muted song,
Tunes stale, while...

Willy wails Willy wails
Wind wails in the trees
Willy wails Willy wails
Wails the queen of bees
Willy wails Willy wails
Wails the bluish moon
Willy wails Willy wails

Willy wails Willy wails
Elli eats a pie
Willy wails Willy wails
Billie begins to fly
Willy wails Willy wails
Who will...

He wails, he screams, he shrieks, he yells.
No one pays attention.
He throws chairs, the TV, his I-pad.
People look up, vaguely interested.
Poor baby. He is bored, thinks his mother.
Poor baby. He is too gifted for that teacher to teach thinks his father.
Poor baby, no home schooling,...

'You've thrown me over the edge of the highest peaked cliff imaginable
As I spiral further down, my outer shell gets roughed up
by sticks and stones

Will I ever...

Screams, screeches, groans and wails,
Brutalities, agonies, torture, and blood,
Tear Gases, pallet guns, bullets and bombs
Humanity sobs, world is falling apart
Does anyone care? 

Kids are blinded
Men are jailed
Women are molested
The old are tortured

Luckily, you have food
Billions are starving
You have a warm blanket
Trillions live under the frigid...

Melting my heart with flames of heated sorrow 
As I watch her sweet tears, I tissue my eyes 
Indeed, she is not the only one who cries 
Assuring my precious...a brighter tomorrow 
Explaining to her, a soul never dies 

Patting her back with her head...

I wonder what my dower would  be
if he had not chosen life
A constable -in bag would be
the share - halved  - without the choice

Would  hold memories I suppose
but those we shared 
so, bring me half he owned outright

Bring me secrets on a...

Flames sifts and seizes all, mankind’s desires burns through all 
All is exchanged for fire, for fire is the highest priced gold 
With a pearl within the flickering flames, still and wailing...

Telling fairy tales of she who wails
beside a lake in campfire’s glow this night,
it’s shadowy, for moon has hid its light.
My friend’s face pales; my sister bites her nails
as we lean in while listening with fright!

Our narrator melodramatically
relates the story of a woman who
had drowned...

hidden anguish wails

  dangling on throats of cold love...

And so here I am....
I hope to touch your hearts it does'nt fail
and so here I am
Telling fairytales of she who wails

Those never-ending cries of pain
have gone now!
Those scars you drew through my heart
have faded now!

I am no different than you all
Just a little meeker...

Syrup the cat was a sous- chef, her soup hit the spot.
her concoctions of rabbit and mice made a fine pot
you cannot make me taste that. You cannot! Cannot!
yelled an out-of-control kitten who was a bit of a snot.

Syrup kept stirring her concoction of kibble...
