Long Aggrieve Poems

Brownian motion writ large...
within small medium 
as light brainstorm doth 
hail forth the following poem.

Across the realm of gray matter
slowly percolating within tissue
composed of neuronal, glial 
and endothelial cells, and although 
there must be biological...

The Bloodstone, The Raven And Master Poe,
Part Three of Three


There came hammer knocking on the back door
As Poe was acting out pitiful moans
Raven thought, could this be from Hell's dark shore
Another beast hearing anguishing groans
Then...

Akin to daffodils got to puff the magic dragon GoDaddy seed achieve
visibly absent pride and prejudice where aggrieve

Accursed human species
case in point Vladimir Putin,
who strikes terror across globe.

Don't underestimate his hell bent
zeal to attack United States,
one blood sucking infernal
predacious Homo sapien
mercilessly bullies, interrogates, 
threatens... with zeal.

Considerably less mortifying
constitutes wrathful ordeals
exhibited by adults...

September meets with warm embrace,
 quickening the harvest pace,
though looming autumn can't efface 
 what's left of summer's arid grace.

The linen hanging on the line 
 dances with the gust and shine,
while maypops heavy on...

All day on my feet.
Pacing the halls.

A day without stupor does not defeat me.

There's a force of strength deep inside of me
that is nourished by the truths I believe.
It centers on my faith in God, and I decree

You’re the only definite
that I’m unsure about.
I have mixed feelings
and you’re all in them,
the anger flows throughout.
So many traits
I perfected
being connected,
to you
for so long.
The suppression,
misguided anger,
the depression 
that could have killed me.
A damaging relationship,
but my...

You break through the sky
Like a spear aiming high
How will I stand on your tip?
My crampon thorn piercing to grip

I heard of lands both far and near
where wealth beyond tale can conceive. 
With rivers deep and mountains sheer

Venetians masqueraded themselves to hide their identity;
 their vagueness was allowed openly,

With irascible words, she continues to bemoan
Writing about poets with whom she picks a bone
Chastising those who like to compete in contests
She's infected with hate, like a pustulant abscess

We supplicate her when we mourn
She is the rose and we the thorn
to those who sorrowfully grieve
alone, bewildered and forlorn

She offers sinners a reprieve
and comforts sad hearts that aggrieve
Lifts us up when we're feeling down

I suppose for me,
Love, was never to be.

I have prayed to believe!
Each time, leaving me to aggrieve.

Left to love only me,
My aching heart to bleed.

Some days, when I awake,
Upward I drag, for other’s sake.

Each dreary...

Howl of fierce storm in despair solitude
Hark against fear, joy aggrieve attitude,
Worst for hope that strikes deep wound left unkind

Videogames all about crime or war,
Quite often are full of blood, guts and gore,
And people are worried that you may find,
That violent games can alter the mind,

Sheeple
Written: by Tom Wright
10-27-2019

Social media has made bullies,
of many good people.
Some hide behind this curtain,
until they become sheeple.

Comments are often made,
that wouldn’t be said to your face.
Things that are untrue,
in an attempt to debase.

This causes...
