Grimmer Poems

Getting Chummy

Music gets under our skin. The worst of attacks,
narrated by the boat’s captain. Unsettling sink
of the USS Indianapolis. Just below the hull,
a gian...

The Robyn Schall Experience

...It’s wonderful and rare to laugh
Or smile for two hours straight.
It happens when you get to see
A comic who’s first-rate.

Me An Ocean

...I was a land that was steeper
I became an ocean that was deeper

The waves in me were silent
And the view around was grimmer 

The Moon wasn't there
Everything looked gloomy and in despair

Why Ted Is Slimmer

...Don’t you know why Ted is slimmer?
His eyes no more with hopes glimmer:
Had long swum in pools with shimmer,
As long in frustration swimmer;
Ted would not bear Todd’s New Tipper
Plus dreams of m...

I Am Darkness

...I am darkness, 
I am night, 
I am where many are lost without hope in sight,

I creep and seep,
filling the cracks in you,
with me.

Encroaching, slowly, in little ways, 
pushing out the bet...

A Monarch Butterfly

I wondered if it was the last
‘Cause they are disappearing fast;
Our world will be much grimmer.

For climate change and pesticides,
Plus loss of habitats besides...

Black Shadow Black Soul

...The sun projects my shadow
      imperfect parody  thus lack
      being copy of grimmer flow

Last Love Letter

...Sails upon waters of shimmer
Blood red vibrance glowing dimmer
Twisted fate of Sanity increasingly slimmer
Lost Voice left alone to quietly simmer
Memories of faded emotions turning grimmer

Party Reflections

...My parties have become pretty lean
Ever since onset of Covid nineteen 
No more passing around fine liquor
drinking alone, in a hall of mirrors 

A new reality from behind thin veils 
Masks and ...

a star with many ghoulish names, 
be wary of a winking eye,
for fluctuating flames
belie its evil aims. 

Ancient mariners would watch with dread

After the Storm

...O!  Afterthought, Thou art a stern Taskmaster!
Thy Glare’s as gentle, as is Sun on Snow!
O!  Heart!  Would She have stayed, if I had asked her?

Not everything’s revealed within its glimmer
