Best Wretched Poems

Wretched is the man, who has not seen the sea, of day
Who has not heard the seagulls cry above the waves,
Who did not walk long hours to think, or dream
Who has not seen the ships sailing for distant Egypt.

Unhappy is man, who does not think...

"The Wretched Prince"

You were my hope
And all my dreams,
But all of that has changed,
It seems

Because I treated 
You so bad,
Destroying everything
We had

And if I could
Just turn back time,
I'd claim you and,
I'd make you mine

I'd treat you
Like a Princess fair,
Hold you close,
And stroke your hair

A precious...

“You meddling mechanical moron,
you’ve ruined everything,
the thingamabob is running amok,
can’t you hear the alarm bells ring?
You clinking, clanking cretin,
you demented digital dunce,
you never do what I tell you,
and I’ve warned you more than once.
You’re a slew of silly circuits,
you’re an electronic idiot too,
you’re a tin-plated...

I turned away to hide my tears when his eyes were blurred
and frowned with a sigh each time his words were slurred
Foolishly, he thought by closing his door I wouldn't know
that he'd given in to the demon causing sorrow and woe

He was drowning himself in...

I was born in freedom’s graveyard
‘neath a tombstone where my name scarred
the edifice, cold stone and bone hard,
wrapped was I in burning flag.

An empty stomach, angry, held tight
Another hand to clutch the long night
Another head fixed ‘twixt the gun sight
Just one more toe to tag.

Raised...

Putin, Putin, yes I want you,
A marked man, with another few,
So busy creating your own demise,
Brazen, proud of your war, no disguise.

Putin, Putin you are going to hell,
And your marching clones, I foretell,
Will all, hear the sound of the calling bell,
For where you are bound,...

I hope one day your heart knows sting of pain
I hope to see you writhing in your guilt
I hope to God your tears are acid rain
I hope to see your blood on alter spilt

I hope to be there when you cry for love
When lonely and...

SKETCH OF A WRETCHED WOMAN

She sat there demurely, her eyes closed shut,
With a formidable weight on her mind,
About to crack up like a brittle nut,
She was in a rather tenuous bind -
Her life's interlude from all love resigned;

An immutable fact caused deep heartache,
She had a...

Not content with just penurious loaves
Wretched pauper for richer diet strove
Seeking treasure from a wealthier trove
Delicate crumbs from hearty stoves;
Pungent fruit from well-stocked groves

Poached sustenance frail body did gladly receive
Yet of better fare covetous mind did conceive
Then with guile from gullible hearts  lucrative profits...

Like a spell with no remedy
The strong movement of the wind 
Accosted by volcanic ceaseless water 
Stuck and struck endlessly
It held grip to all that ever
Existed in New Orleans

It reminded me of the 
Beginning when the earth was
Without form with void and 
Darkness dancing upon
The...

Rivulets of raindrops cut tributary streams
On the panes of the windows, running freely they cling
Stone faced and staring, motor skills corrode
Just snippets of memories in unbreakable code

Rumbles of thunder, sudden flashes of light
Draw no response to a once vibrant life
Surrounded by loved ones, faces without...

Ship-wretched

Golden sand as far as can be seen
Lapped by an ocean, aquamarine
Sun blazing, high, in an azure sky
Another land hermit crab scampers on by
Palms edge the beach gifting welcome respite
from the heat of the day till the cool of the night
When the touch of an...

Wretched Creatures That Live To Deceive


Tis no wonder that some choose to just go
the bad ones certainly put on a real show.
They depend on those that just do not know
playing as if clean as wind driven snow!

No honor,lies and darkness in their game
doing just as...
