Glummer Poems | Examples


Premium MemberHave You a Kopek, Sir

    O, how my sensitive soul writhes 
        as I struggle to tithe
     the coppers of this starving artist's anxiety
        who so wants to change society  

     Who paints and paints to no good end
        and pines away for home or friend
      Braves the icy winter and blazing summer
        while his prospects look ever-glummer

      Ahoy! You there! In the handsome fur
         Have you a kopek for le artiste, sir?... 
      Ach! What’s the use? I’ve soured on this gig
         Changing the world’s not worth a fig!

Premium MemberFourth of July

On a snow covered beach in the middle of Summer
Basking in the gloominess of a dark so much glummer
There lived a cow who the cowboy rode so proudly
As he rode past the horse the farmer was milking loudly
Everywhere he rode, leaves were falling from a blue sky
While the joy of Christmas fell upon the fourth of July
We celebrated the holiday with a hot cup of cocoa
And left gifts around the American flag, a little loco

On a snow covered beach in the middle of July
There came the sound of Silent Night’s sigh
Drifting on the air as dazzling fireworks would deny
Today was the day for even reindeer to belie

Premium MemberHe Knows How To Fix Ladies Plumbing

When shopping I espied my plumber 
I’d dallied with him in the summer
We’d meet round the block
I’ve seen his ballcock
He ditched me, I couldn’t be glummer

He’s laying pipe with my friend Mary
I advised her she should be wary
Because I do not think
He’ll be fixing her sink
But bonking her down in the dairy

Swallows Make Summer

Where are all our most beautiful swallows?
powder blue skies seem so empty so bare
why does this make my heart feel so hollow?
icons of summer, why do I despair?

longing for a glimpse of this great blue bird
splendour at sight of their aerobatics 
gracefully gliding too and fro quite blurred 
natural art of pure aeronautics

gazing into glorious blue yonder
doubting myself if it’s spring or summer 
please beautiful bird be my responder
your presence will make me much less glummer 

like a mirage dozens come into view 
now summer is here our swallows are too.

I Like the Dark

I love just sitting in a dark empty room. Me, my thoughts, and I, just sitting all alone me myself and I. Most of us, humans that is, are quite so terribly afraid of dark. But why should we be honestly the dark is where the demons feed. Open up release them, love the dark and all your ghouls. People fear the creatures of the dark. Me myself and I, we fear the ones who are afraid to enter where no mortal Dare, me myself, and I. 
    I love feeling the coat of darkness hugging me tight knowing no one will see me. Only the predator sees in the dark, the prey is just left to fear. Me, myself and I. Sitting in the padded room, the jacket hugs close as the dark, the nurses glum doctors glummer. Towards me, myself and I.

Living Legend To France

My bro I am joining you thought your tense and glummer 
To cross the seas and into to the blue 
Into the unknown you go 
What a brave and strong soul you are to me 
A tear drops so sourly down my harden face 
Its dry to these feeling 
Across many of mountains that I have crossed
And sooo passed 
To sing your song to the cap 
Just like I did mine to the green cap
This is one mad song 
A secret is no loner one 
As its always passed 
To at least one 
And then another one 
Running yes 
Hanging out yes 
You have full filled me to be just like you
One hard soul 
You nutter 
Bounjouir 
Time will tell as I follow your pain though the mud and guts 
Cos that boat is waiting 4 me to cross the path 
The very one you took to for see your past 
I will be there not as a royal marine 
But a French foreign legion

6 Hours Within 7 Days

To be in harmony with souls
my creation lays before me
this is paradise
the none selfish being is hear
sheltered from all the bad but only sees the good 
dissmised all the bad thus the new
your love will never end as a baby 
i slept by your side 
with a ear right by 
guiding your senses
though your glummer
when you were born
i made a promise to you
never to full fill my own parents 
but you were taken from me just as the wind blows 
but hay i am no leaf 
but your love was safe with me
because our picture will grow
as the wild wolfs follow my shadow
