Best Wails Poems
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
The gale will blow in soon
Willy wails Willy wails
Elli eats a pie
Willy wails Willy wails
Billie begins to fly
Willy wails Willy wails
Who will swim in the pool?
Willy wails Willy wails
Who will ride a bull?
Willy wails Willy wails
Night moves at a good clip
Willy wails Willy wails
Let us go to sleep
Willy wails Willy wails
What’s the cause of chills?
Willy wails Willy wails

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, thinks the teacher.
All of them right,
But no one fully listening
So the wailing, screaming and shrieking continue.
A whole lifetime of it.
No one ever wanting to get close enough
to understand the why of it.
All too busy being right
to listen to what is
happening inside
and who has
hurt him.
stained water flows
a form bursts forth of life’s flood
a baby wails
For Contest: Haiku vs. Senryu
For and in honor of Charles Henderson
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 sky
Dreams are murdered
Voices are unheard
Wishes are being blurred
Every heart has become graveyard
Sweet melodies step down as Sighs take over the throne
Rainbow of Joy is washed off by the deluge of tears
Soul of humanity becomes a pray of endless wild Forest of Wars
While atrocities have robbed Jaws of their smiles..
Yet you say the world is beautiful??
Yeah, for you, as you are at peace….
Come out of your palace
You will see….
Sky painting itself red!
Butterflies renouncing their dreams
Birds with trimmed wings
Blood oceans, barren trees, burnt houses,
Teared eyes, and shattered bodies
Earth is ugly
Earth is savage
Earth is a cage
Earth is but a jinxed place

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 on my shoulder
Fairytales live, child...forever and ever
She will understand life more when she grows older
Brightening her face, from her eyes stormy weather
She had smiled a great smile, from the last thing I told her
Humpty Dumpty, will be put back together

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 page
and space them - just so-
that such stuns at a time
could never awe me so
And in it - the design
for such a mystery
and show me confidence in a wife
which entitled him husbandry
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
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 and bit.
she did not mind at all that the child was having a fit.
harried mother of the tabby kitten put down her sweater of knit.
giving a responsibility lecture to her child, a chit wit.
child’s loud wailing and mewing did not make her mommy proud.
her antics were ridiculous, annoying, and totally loud.
grandma said watch this, and she threw soup into child’s mouth.
yummy in my tummy! The kitty yelped as the soup traveled south.
hidden anguish wails
dangling on throats of cold love...
numb midnight vacant

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 herself because of misery.
And horrors! She had drowned her children too
inside this lake! Leaves rustle on our tree.
Wind now howls. My brother then shouts BOO!

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 well you can say
No more can I keep my
anguished screams at bay!
I have been succumbed
to mustering silence
I have been considered
less of a human

No leech could suck out this poison
No god can purify the soul corrupted by birth status!
Isn't what you taught your children
that I am an untouchable?
Jarring breath notes punctuated my words
But not anymore!
For i am strong!
Stronger than anyone could ever be!
I am 'Untouchable'!

both love the sea
both have the key
wail flow
fish soap
fish go up and down
wail go round and round
like is a dish
its
WAILS AND FISH
theyer like remote
the flow
jump up and down
in the water sounds
theyer big and round
always in motion
with long tails
you fime them as they swim
over the
OCEAN AND WAILS
theyrer go down
around
some jump and bump
as water in motion
its
WAILS AND THE OCEAN
I let myself fall into guilt, time stands still,
you say your heavy words while I try to grasp them,
I’m tormented by the sentences they utter speaking through my behalf
as I try to mutter
You’ve led me in this dark abyss the void fully consumed me feelings all
blacked out,
tell me why I cannot find the light, for your spirits are weakening me
I’m trapped in this darkness, the demons that come from your mouth tear
me thoroughly,
my yells are hollow, unable to be heard, the words grab my fragile arm
pulling me to my fate
This lamentation is immortal in this realm,
the voices call to me from the distant hallways,
I gaze into the mirror in my hands, gleaming with rusted metal
revealing a distorted image of me transparent and translucent
My appearance cannot be seen as my tears fall to the surface,
they break the glass within every drop,
I then vanish as the vestiges of my heart meet its time,
my light is cast away, the stygian has met me
filling my heart with the darkness of mine.
