Grumbling Poems


Voracious Appetite

Around the kitchen
I was bumbling
with pots and pans
see me fumbling
for something yummy
with an empty tummy
it was rumbling
took a long hard look
and now I'm mumbling
as there's not a lot to cook
but bread crusts crumbling
long past their sell-by date
it's ever-so humbling
but there's no point at all
this late in grumbling
about standing the heat
or beating a retreat
but better yet

Premium MemberTransform My Grumbling Heart

I sing of having gratitude, 
But then, what is my attitude? 
I murmur and complain
For not receiving rain;
Oh LORD, transform my grumbling heart!

I write of having thankfulness, 
But then, I drown in anxiousness, 
I lament, whine and mourn
And make my life forlorn;
Oh LORD, transform my grumbling heart!

I pen of having gratefulness, 
But then, am filled

Premium MemberThe Old Clogs

The old clogs
Retreating
From outdoor
To be worn
Only
In a bathroom
Make a loud nouse
As though crying
At the shoes' revolution
Of the young generation
Sometimes a clumsy old man resembles
The old clogs
Grumbling loudly and helplessly
At the young generation
For any differences
In life style or ideology

Premium MemberThe Unattended

The old man
Slow and tumbling
Always grumbling for nothing
Has an insanitary habit of finger-licking 
Always enjoys digging mucus in the nose
Saliva always being used to flip a page
Always bites to open a knot
Water tap always being left turning on
Always a careless choking on food or water
Resembling a big baby on care 
But always being left alone

An Old Man's Grumbling

AN OLD MAN'S GRUMBLING 

How quickly does our time go. 
The days run by, the years fly. 
If the young men only know, 
That old age is to defy.  

Aging is a long, long road, 
And comes when you do not wait. 
Aging means a new abode  
Onto which you will go straight.

Concede With Lord

"Everything happens for a reason":
Grumbling for every single thing brings
goosebumps in your organ.
Sip the essence of life as it sings.
Please quietly ignore your emotion.
Ease the burdens by pouring it before god and seek his blessings.

Lone Grumbling

Shabby Temple 
O' the tavern is; 

Inn for the loneliness; 

but alone I’m in crowded, 

none listens to anyone; 

and then an intoxicated brain
swings into drowsy self!
bubbling the word,
muttering the poem
…..

An Old Grumbling Buffoon

On these lonely and forlorn days,
the word past,
more than the word future,
grew and piled high as the castle wall.
I acquired a tendency to measure my future
from the length of the setting sun on other side of 
this view obstructing wall.

As the wall becomes higher,
the sunset rays become shorter,
and in time of this last part of

Premium MemberGrumbling

I'm in love with living
Am I the only one?
Hear a lot of grumbling
Negativity by the ton

Hey there all you people
Stop and listen up 
Attitude's the real key
So fill your lovin' cup

I'm in love with living 
Am I the only one?
Grumbling ain't the answer
You miss out on the fun

We're all in this together 
So let's not
