Drearier Poems | Examples


The melancholy Of This Mysty Rain

I hang on the small
umbrella, but I fail;
a whirlwind snatches it away, 
it's more violent than a hungry eagle
swooping down to catch its prey...
all is in shambles, it scares the beagle
that finds shelter in a hallway
of a decayed building nearby:
he is afraid and shakes terribly!

Melancholy was felt when misty rain
made the maples cry as grieving mothers
do for the loss of their infant child;
no eyes looked drearier, their faces 
were marked by a pain hard to explain...
they were finally consoled by God
who ordered rainy clouds to unwind,
giving them the comfort they needed.

The Melancholy Of This Misty Rain

I hang on the small
umbrella, but I fail;
a whirlwind snatches it away, 
it's more violent than a hungry eagle
swooping down to catch its prey...
all is in shambles, it scares the beagle
that finds shelter in a hallway
of a decayed building nearby:
he is afraid and shakes terribly!

Melancholy was felt when misty rain
made the maples cry as wailing mothers
do for the loss of their infant child;
no eyes looked drearier, their faces 
were marked by a pain hard to explain...
they were finally consoled by God
who ordered rainy clouds to unwind,
giving them the comfort they needed. 

Moms take care of their kids, doing all they can
and they sacrifice much, they don't buy a dress
to fill their needs; such angels deserve admiration,
walk with them: they've walked with you always!

The melancholy of this misty rain
can never erase anything too precious to us;
all remains intact in our subconsciousness:
sorrows and joys they reawaken!                                we reawaken

Zealots preach and I grow ever leerier
They deem bigots good and good folks inferior
I best join their endeaver
Or I'll sizzle forever
There's nothing as disturbing or drearier

When Darkness Cannot Create More Fear

Flick of a moment and the dark is already there,
In the mind, the paranoid self has started to stare,
When hallucinations are seeming no lesser than reality,
I wish let it at least not be the veracious voice of such brutality. 

I know not what is inside,
Though I wish to brush aside,
In vain I try to calm the forces,
To realize I am unable to hold my horses.

Darkness outside makes no difference,
For the blind, darkness inside is scarier,
At this moment helped my reverence,
For I have you who won't let it become drearier.

All I say is thanks for being there my savior !!


Ingredients of Life

What's a sweeter gift than love?
What's the greatest wealth than hope?
What's a richer state than faith?

It behooves you to live by your faith,
And keep aflame the spirit of love,
Woe befalls him who derides hope:

Nothing is drearier than a life bereft of hope,
And he's a lost soul who's without faith,
But unfortunate is he of all who's without love.

All is lost when one loses love, hope and faith!

Premium Member Superior - Not the Lake

SUPERIOR – not the lake

To me there are no persons drearier
Than those who think themselves superior,
Think everything in life that they do
Is a little, no, MUCH better than you (do)

She didn’t come right out and make a claim
Not sophisticate was to give it name
As example – I mentioned my dentist
Hers, compared to others by far the best
Sadly, my doctor’s name, somehow, came up
Hers had won the Johns Hopkins world class cup
When I mentioned housing she had a ball
When compared to hers, the Taj Mahal was small
Dare I mention our Jeep parked in the back?
She’d boast of her three bran new Cadillacs
Fed her dog ‘Vet’s Laboratory Test’
Even claimed her Fido’s droppings were best
 
         Then, one day –

Joy! When they had to call an ambulance -
Her chronic case of painful flatulence

The South Westerly

Oh! for the wet warm South Westerly 

                     after the cold white North Easterly leaving  

                     sparkling rain on each window pane South Westerly.
                  
                     At night this rain paints all inanimate things a vivid 
    
                     hue, while humans look care worn, some even sickly, 

                     no longer New Year spick and span but of a drearier hue. 

                     New snow in the Wolds as yeast in England's east, another 

                     feast for children and adults unable to bring home the bacon.

                     Drains turn into ice topped streams that underneath show 

                     water swimming like eels in a race to breed. Across the North Sea

                     diagonally from The Wash, heavy snow is falling in the Norge 

                     fjords like so many Vikings on a raid for plunder, trade or conquest.

Dark Upon Dawn-The Grimreaper's Visit

With the demise of the midnight dreary
When all mortals,'hope', long to receive
some the morning wish to come
to wash away memories of cut-throat nightmares
some the morning pray to come
to take away the torture of the gloomy darkness
i as well partook in this mass prayer
prayer for morning to come
but as though unto some hellish gods,
the answer to my prayer,behold was more dreary
drearier than my nightmares
nightmares to which i had been condemned to the night before
a hhappy man would i have been,if i was accosted by blood and gore
but no.twas something more dreary,more deadly,more grim
which no mortal man has imagined or in dreams seen
a thinh whose mere appearance spelt doom
which in me inflicted spasms of tempestuous shudders
and behold i dropped,i lay and inly the hourglass can tell
can tell how long lay i,unconscious,the body away from the soul
until consciousness whispered with tyhat piercing sound,shrill
awoke me to yhe bustle and hustle of the midday

Holding On

The days are growing drearier,
News of the future is grim,
Folks are losing faith in
everything,
Thoughts from the devil keep
creeping into minds,
telling them, "They are no good
and unkind,"
They fight and wrestle with
suggestions to harm,
with each day that passes,
They have accomplished weathering 
the storm,
Then emotions flood their minds
and the pain becomes unbearable,
making them anxious and miserable,
In their minds, there is only one
solution to a life of everlasting pain,
Flushing their lives down the drain,
with hopes of never experiencing
a cruel world again,
If only delicate souls could just
hold on for a better hour,
They would truly see God's powers.

Premium Member The Transmutation

The dust dappled panes of window 
glass shiver,
in their winter finery of frost crystals.

Elaborate patterns form, 
lace-like in their elegance;
cloaking the everyday remnants 
of drearier days.

And, as the morning sun rises higher
in the cotton batten sky,
the finery transmutes, tears form;
streaking the dirty face of dawn.
